Welcome to my blog
I am an exclusive photographer with istockphoto and produce a wide variety of images. Recently I have been experimenting with high magnification photography of insects, plants and anything else I find that looks interesting up close.
I am a first year undergraduate studying Biology at the University of Oxford. I have a particular interset in entomology and enjoy exploring the huge diversity of insect species in the UK.
I aim to use this blog to share some of the photos I have been taking which I find particularly interesting, I try to do a little bit of research on the subjects of my photos but am far from an expert. if I have made any big errors or misidentified something, please leave a comment or send me an email to correct me .

Sorus
This photo is of a sorus on the bottom of a fern leaf. A sorus is a cluster of sporongia, these structures produce spores which are dispersed and grow into new plants. Stomata are also visible on the leaf surface.
This is a stack of 82 images, taken with my Nikon D300 using a Nikon M Plan 10/0.25 objective on bellows. The sorus is about 1mm across.
