“An Amazing World Right Under Your Nose”: 24 Pictures Of Nature That I Took With A Macro Lens
The Amazing and Magical World of Macro Photography.
I’ve been a photographer for almost two decades and only recently purchased a macro lens to try it out. Had I known what I was missing, I would have bought one long ago. Having this lens has opened up a whole new and amazing world for me, a world that’s literally right under our feet but that we seldom notice. Have you ever seen the Disney film "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!"? Well, that’s a pretty good comparison!
When you look at a normal photo you see it, appreciate it, and may even hang it in your home. When you look at an image photographed with a macro lens, it draws you in, making you feel like you’re a part of that world instead of just an observer. Everything from ants and spiders to flowers and plants (and the bees that pollinate them) takes on an entirely new dimension. Even a tiny mushroom such as the one below looks much larger and more detailed than what you would notice in an image photographed with a different lens.

Ugh. I truly HATE spiders. Always have. Although at a national park, a ranger had me hold a tarantula; it was a weird experience. He (the spider, not the ranger) was very gentle and curious. Still, I had to stifle a scream.

I'm sure that all of those tiny hairs on it are vital to sensing what's around him.
