Macro photography, simply put, is close-up photography. This usually requires a special lens that is optimized to focus sharply on a small area. What I love about macro photography is that it allows us see an entirely different world that is filled with an abundance of detail that usually goes unnoticed by the naked eye.
Here is a collection of 40 truly amazing macro photographs from various photographers. To see larger versions of the photographs and to learn more about both the photograph and photographer, be sure to click on the images.
Very nice photographs. I like to do photography but don’t know much about it 🙂
fantastic photo
inspiring macro photography..the 1st images is very interesting..loved the contrast in few of the pics also the 1st black & white picture is a vry good capture..the advantage of the macro lens is it can be used as a normal or telephoto lens out to infinity..
WOW! Fantastic!
Wow… I really love macro photography and the way they can capture things in a totally different way.
Great collection!
I’m loving the spring with water beads, its brilliant seeing the clock-faces lensed in the water
excellent collection…nice work done
I wonder what type of camera is capable of taking such minuteness?
amazing wallpapers! thanks a lot!
My word, the world of the small really inspires… mad!
i like the one with water drops reflecting the clock… nice article.
I just bought a Nicon 5000 and I’m re-descovering photography as a form of art – these are all very inspiring.
awesome collection, I love macro
great collection 😀
I like detail.
Great!!!
So nice! I would like to take photos like these. I think they use very high-tech cameras.
I took the snow flake one. My camera is fairly expensive, but you don’t need to spend all that much to do macro. I started with a $300 used compact camera, and eventually upgraded to an SLR (which can be as low as $300 now I think). I have a good macro lens which I bought for $300 used, and I got a whole lot closer by putting a dipter on the end of it. However, you can get the same magnification with a reversed 28mm lens which would be much cheaper (but not as flexible, and nowhere near as convenient).
Good work….
Did I just see aliens? I love micro-photography and have been indulging in the art form for the last few years! I love your artwork. Thanks for showcasing them!
Great photos! It took me 10 minutes to switch on my new camera today and everything turned out blurred, but I recognise great art wehen I see it!
Incredible. Reminds me of what I’ve known for a while: good photographers have a different way of seeing the world. Like poets.
Brilliant work!
I have been a great fan of macro-photo for a while now and do most of my own shots in the same manner with stellar results even with a relatively inexpensive Nikon point and shoot.
However, your work is extraordinary!
I would like to know more about your camera and lens choices…lighting is especially well done…bless on with ya! keep clicking!
