Old and used, yes —damaged, no.Finally, my wife suggested that I use the one of her favorite large cups that I managed to chip some time ago while putting it in the kitchen sink. I was saved.Nikon Z7 II, Micro-Nikkor Z MC 105mm, ƒ/2.8 S macro lens. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Artificial lighting (two cobra flashes). Composite shot made of 68 focus-stacked exposure, using the built-in function on the camera —in other words, first the camera, then the computer, did all the work while I was watching a movie. Stack processed with Helicon Focus, Method B (depth map). Details of lighting and gear available if desired.[ATTACH=full]410896[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
