Beautiful, exquisite man-made fabric with intricate details?
Nope. You are looking, in fact, at a macro shot of a peacock feather.
These photos are the work of Waldo Nell, an engineer-slash-photographer, who according to modernmet, displays his love for science and nature through his beautiful photos.
The result? Vibrant, mesmerizing details.
According to the website:
Nell placed peacock plumes underneath an Olympus BX 52 microscope and captured hundreds of individual shots at different focal distances. Using a digital processing technique called stacking, he layered those takes together to make the final photographs, which expose nature’s capacity for dazzling intricacies that normally go unnoticed by the human eye.
Nature has always been breathtaking, but this just captures the magnificence of the world around us.
