- This Pete Smith Specialty demonstrates the uses of micro- and macrophotography. We see extreme closeups of the mechanical workings of a tiny wristwatch, the surface of a cat's tongue, and several insects.
- An off-screen narrator introduces us to a series of images, asking if we can tell what each is. They are photographs of small objects, blown up to many times their actual size: the wheel and other moving parts of a woman's wristwatch; a cat's tongue; mosquito eggs, larvae, and an adult insect; a praying mantis; a fly and its eyes; each end of a caterpillar; a newly-hatched hummingbird; and, a lizard's eye. Sometimes we just see the object up close; in the case of the mosquito, we watch it grow from egg to feeding adult. There's time-lapse photography and an explanation of why it's hard to swat a fly.—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
- The viewer is asked to guess what something is when seen from an interesting perspective, usually in extreme close-up. Those images are sometimes made all the more difficult to decipher being in a form not usually seen. Those objects are then presented in full view, in action, and in the case of certain live creatures in the transformation to that form more common.—Huggo
