Macro Photography: Get inspired with these amazing macro photos
The eyeful of macro photography is that it captures details not visible with the naked eye. It transports us into unshortened worlds that we’re not normally privy to and has wilt an incredibly popular photography technique, for both research and entertainment purposes.
Being worldly-wise to study snowflakes, the vision of insects and how light bounces off a soap rainbow can reveal subconscious gems and insights that can be used for scientific and technological purposes.
Technically speaking, macro photography (also known as photomacrography), is a way of capturing lattermost close-ups of tiny subjects. This is what makes macro photography of insects so appealing. The term refers to the fact that the size of the subject in the photograph appears at least as large as it does in real life, if not greater than life-size. A macro lens is, therefore, a lens capable of reproduction ratios of at least 1:1.
The weightier macro photography is captured by DSLRs fitted with “true” macro lenses or extension tubes, yet many phones can now be fitted with macro-style lenses to rival these increasingly expensive setups, and some like the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max come with macro lenses.
To inspire you in your macro photography projects, or simply help you escape the humdrum of work, here are some of the weightier macro photography shots on the web, and some we've taken ourselves.
