This is why I love macro photography. You can get up close and intimate with objects that everyone sees on a daily basis, but from that close up, it appears to be a completely different, and often unrecognizable subject.
Yes, this is clearly a seedpod (Or is it? Hmmm?). There are such amazing details in EVERYTHING – both natural and man-made.
As I always say, just give me 5 square feet of space and you can leave me there for hours. :)
you are right about the delicate structure here. Beautiful shot! You clearly have a good eye!
Thank you!
Beautiful capture! How is a seedpod man made? Maybe I’m not understanding….
Thank you! Oh no, a seedpod isn’t man-made, a seedpod falls into the ‘nature’ category. All I mean to say is that everything, both nature related things and man-made things can look so different when viewed up close. :)
macro-photography (a new term for me!)! what a wonderful way to take a second look at things we take for granted and give only a casual glance to most times. excellent S post!
Thank you! Yes, exactly! The perfect way to show appreciation for items we otherwise take for granted.
I agree with you that both natural and man-made objects can be fascinating when viewed close up!!
Right? I love seeing things in new ways. Objects that are otherwise boooring can be turned into something fantastic!
What macro lens did you go with?

Actually none, I am still working with my extension tubes, usually I stick with the 36mm on my 18-55mm or my 50mm. I think that will have to be my next lens purchase though! :)
I may have to look at those, I got my Canon shipped to me and I’m finally able to take it out when I have some down time…
Oh and it does look so much better up close even! Stunning capture!
beautiful photo!
I definitely agree! Macro can be so illuminating!
Love it! Once I find my place to shoot, I feel the same way! Love macros.
Totally love your photography! You are a true inspiration! i’ve voted AND done everything you’ve asked.
not too good at flower names. it is very dry-out though..end of a sunflower?
It is really a great Macro – Splendid!!
beautiful shot. Macro can be pretty amazing!
great view! I always like seeing nature up close! (:-Deb
Oh wow.
Absolutely splendid capture.
I like thinking of you spending hours in 5 square feet of space.
It’s such a neat way to look at things.
Thank you for linking.
