Can you tell what the translucent object is in the photograph above? It’s a single grain of sugar captured in a macro photograph by artist Pyanek, whose “Amazing Worlds Within Our World” project is a series of macro shots that show the beautiful details of ordinary things — things that we generally don’t (or can’t) see with our naked eyes.
Here’s the project presented in video form. For each of the photos, see if you can figure out what the photo is of before the answer shows up on the screen:
The photos were captured using a Canon T3i DSLR with a reversed kit lens and edited with HeliconFocus (focus stacking), Lightroom, and Exposure 5.
Here are the other photographs in the series:
Kitchen sponge
Apple stalk
‘X’ key on a computer
Teabag
Spaghetti
Serrated knife
Screw
Match
Lipstick
Incense stick
Corrugated fiberboard
Cornflake
Brass key
Book pages
Beach stone
Ballpoint pen
Soap bubbles
Pyanek has released the images in the series to the public for downloading, viewing, and sharing.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
