Quantum Images

Well not quite quantum but the tiny world that surrounds us is not always invisible to the naked eye. It just takes a little visual patience and more importantly, opening our eyes!

I did not take these images, although I do have some examples of macro shots in my portfolio. These shown here are much better than the ones I have attempted, no doubt this photographer had a better macro lens. The colours are vibrant and the story is with the viewer. I looked at some and saw the beauty of water portrayed as diamonds, glittering brightly in the early morning sun.

Often we see images of the bigger picture, you know, galaxies, nebula etc etc. But if we took time to look inward there are many amazing shots to have. These are but a few examples.

Have you ever tried macro photography? If not why not?  Have you ever considered getting in real close? Has it never occured to you to step in rather than step back? If you have not got in close next time you wander out and about with camera in hand take a few close ups. It matters little if you screw up, ’cause next time you will be smarter than the first time. There is a whole new world out there just waiting for your lens to point at it. Get out there and try.
