GoKawiilGerman photographer Ole Bielfeldt wins 2026 Nikon Small World contest
Bielfeldt, 25, won the Nikon Small World photomicrography competition with an image capturing ink droplets being deposited on paper by an inkjet printer, beating 1,802 entries from 69 countries. To freeze the fast-moving droplets, he disassembled a printer so the paper moved beneath a stationary printhead and photographed the scene in darkness using a flash as the shutter.
