Walks along the side of the road yield amazing photos. Sometimes I find something interesting and work hard at composition - taking into account how the different aspects of the photo inter-relate to form a whole. But I believe that an ordinary shot can become extraordinary if...
...viewed through a macro lens. What the macro len allows me to do is see detail, and detail is where I can observe the overlooked. I really like the macro lens because I can feel the texture of things through it.
This Zen photo completely transformed when I retook it with a macro lens...
and got deeper and deeper, zooming in to it see ever greater detail. Soon I became unable to make out what it was.
And saw the actual pixels which make up the photo. Amazing they are all square. How do the photographs have round features? Did you know that pixels do not have a certain size? You determine the size when you set the photograph's resolution!

It turns out I also really enjoy macro photography, but I have to say that the zen photo is amazing. That absolutely saturated green alone in the sea of sand... really cool.
Digital photography reminds me in regard to pixels of cells and atoms. They are there and of are a particular shape, however you would not know it unless looking at it the very basic level and although a particular shape they fuse together to create so many things not of the same shape. :) Macro is to digital, as microscropes are to us. :) This should be a t-shirt 'what's your resolution?' lol Thanks for showing that beauty is at multiple levels. :) (Great pictures of your son & daughter-in-law!)
I as well love macro photography - quite addicting sometimes
These are great shots :-)
