Macro photography is where photography truly shines as its shows us a world that most of us will never see, unless we are Sherlock Holmes. Thanks for showing those great images.

A typo "Nikon uses the work micro" Nikon uses the word micro.

Good article defining macro photography.

In macro photography, all movement is magnified. It is essential to use a tripod or other jury-rigged steadying mechanism with a remote shutter release or the self-timer. You can't get good macro shots in most cases by holding the camera in your hands.

I cannot believe how incredible those shots are. The greenbottle fly almost looks like something out of a fantasy. It's great to see the vibrance of life like this in these shots.

Till then,

The main problem is the choice of subject - you really need to choose something that is revealed to be beautiful or surprising!

Wow that fly photo is amazing. I really enjoy these closeups photos of everyday objects. Sometimes you don't really appreciate the beauty of something until you see it up close and personal.

I like being taught the technical terms in such easy to understand language. As for the accompanying images all I can say is WOW! Mother nature is a master of natural photoshop indeed!

I first time heard about micro photorgraphy. It's really great quality pics.

I know they stopped making my model but they probably have better ones now and it has a complete manual setting which helped me transition to a DSLR because it allowed me to play with aperture and shutter speed and experiment.

I must say that I'm a fan of diverting the scale in photos. In these pictures we see micro world in macro scale - which is very common way of expressing nature since high quality photos are accessible.

Wow thanks for blogging one of my photos! (Greenbottle)

Many thanks for all the kind comments. I would like to add that I do all of my macro work handheld. Chasing bugs about with a tripod is not much fun.
If your interested there are a few more photographs like this on my flickr page.

You're welcome and all of those compliments are well deserved. You're right...chasing bugs with a tripod isn't much fun all the time!

What are the collections of photos and all photos are nice
