wren's blog: Why I love close ups

Posted on Aug 19, 2011 6:59 AM

Most people think of Macro as taking pictures of very tiny things. But it is really more taking "life" size 1:1 is how it is read..  You can take a picture of larger things and it will still be a Macro shot.  Let me show a few of mine.

The first is a Amaryllis flowers

The second is of a Waterlily

This next one is a very very old picture that I took with my first 35mm camera, it is not as close but is still would be classed as a "macro" or a close up

This next on I would class as a true Macro shot, and it was a pain to get as the wind was blowing and I am not that steady any more.  Took 10 shots to get this one.  That is a butterfly egg

Here is what will come out of that egg. This is the Caterpillar of a
Gulf Fritillary Butterfly, they feed on Passion Flower Vines
