micro photography

iv'r recently started doing some micro photography, photography has always been a hobby of mine but i saw a show on fox about the micro stuff and had to try it out, i still have a lot to learn lol but it's so much fun

here's one of my first shots lol






the leaves are about a centimetre long and four millimetre's wide so they are pretty small

very nice .......I have a average digital camera with a micro mode that is pretty cool..it is interesting to see closeups with details of objects you wouldnt ordinarily see..i usually use a semi micro mode for cat close ups!...

That's a nice shot! I want do do some micro too. If we make a thread of it, I may just upload a couple of my first attempts. Some I've already posted in other threads.

That's a really nice pic!!, did you do those with a macro lens??, I'd love to see more pics!

That's a great idea,

i'd love to see other members micro photo's and that way i can show you all some of my attempts lol, bear in mind, this is only my second day of doing it

i just took another of a Thai chilli plant and found a littlen surprise when i looked at the photo on the computer



That spider was so tiny, i went back to look at it after i saw the photo and it was hard to see lol

Ooooo...very cool! My Grandfather used to do a lot of photography like that when he was younger. He was part of a camera club too. I know he won some awards for micro pics he did of mushrooms that were growing upside down under the living room window (on the outside of course!). You should see the stacks of slides he's got from thoes days.

Wonderful pics!!

Those are cool! I love the drop of water and the spider.

Those are really great shots, it's great to see them.

I really enjoy macro photography and have loads and loads of photos, but I'll resist the temptation to post them all you'll be pleased to know . I don't have the facilities for micro photography.

A selection of some macro photography shots though

there lovely

it is hard to stop taking photo's lol, i must have thousnads on my computer, lansdacpes, seascapes, sunsets, sunrises, wildlife and lots of the furbabies...my camera is attatched to me

i'll post some more tomorrow...too much effort right now and i have to cook dinner, Thai yellow chicken curry

Those are some cool shots! I used to be into photography and would love to take it up again. I've been amazingly slow to get a digital camera though, I'm obsessing over details.

Beth - love the close up kitty nose! I just want to kiss it!

Beautiful - my hubby does alot of that type of stuff - I just point and shoot.

I LOVE the kitty nose!

Meeeeeee toooooo!!

Those are some beautiful photos the two of you have taken
I'd love to see more!

Aww thank you. Lily does have such a cute little nose.

It's amazing how that spider showed up in your photo - I didn't even notice it first time round and had to go back to look for it when you mentioned it!

Here is one that I posted a long time ago. It was a super close up done with the micro setting of a garden spider (not venomous) in my back yard. If you zoom up on a photo enlarger you can count the little hairs on this ole girl's legs. Some are even visible in this pic. Its cool, though some might find it quite scary But its just nature.

That is amazing . The longer I look at it though, the scarier it gets

wow!

That's an amazing micro, i love the spider too, beautiful colors. i'll try and get a photo of a redback if i can, i think their numbers have dropped at our place though, my husband went out to clean the shed yesterday and killed ten by incinerating them, he used a can of spray and a lighter then he came back in looking white and said there were wayyyy too many so we used a bug bomb to get rid of them.

They are beautiful to look at but i wouldn't want to get bitten, luckily there's never been any in the house,only the shed and under pot plants

i love th kitty closeup too

here's a kitty closeup i took yesterday, it's pandy's eye

OK, we just got new lenses for our cheap and crappy camera, so I have been playing and practicing to learn how to use them!

This is all I have so far with 15 minutes invested before the batteries died!


she was mad at me for taking her pics so she turned away from me and did that with her ears


and that's just her side with all her grey hairs!!

I took pics of hubby's grey hairs too but will refrain from posting those!!!

I'll tell you it's a lot better than what my hubby was taking pictures of to figure it out. Booby shots from my Cosmo mag. Clothed boobies!
