Belinda (K00174660): All The Small Things

I've been looking at Macro Photography a lot lately and in my opinion it’s pretty understated. To me, macro is the art of looking at things for what they really are, having the interest to look deeper and see the details others may acknowledge with a passing ‘eh yeah it’s kinda cool’. To see what really makes up the beauty we admire with a passing glance (now I’m not talking genetic makeup or anything like that… *yawn* but I’m sure it’s beautiful in its own way) but I mean the real detail. To do a detailed drawing we have to really study our object right? We want to capture that detail so that our overall drawing looks like the real deal. Isn’t it funny how when we see flies, spiders and other bugs we’re repulsed (and if you’re like me, hastily summon someone else to remove the beast) and yet when seen through a macro lens possess a sense of beauty, elegance and downright cuteness!
