miniature subjects, 

 now we go microscopic,

 Chris Perani uses macro photography to capture the microscopic details found on butterflies’ wings, such as multi-colored hairs and iridescent scales, 

 to photograph with such precision, the photographer uses a 10x microscope objective attached to a 200mm lens, which presents an almost non-existent depth of field,

 “The lens must be moved no more than 3 microns per photo to achieve focus across the thickness of the subject which can be up to 8 millimeters,” 

 “This yields 350 exposures, each with a sliver in focus that must be composited together.” 

 it is amazing the diversity of colours that can be revealed through a close look at a butterflies wing,
