Geek Of The Week: Macro Photography

I love Macro Photography. I find them to be one of the most interesting of photos to look at because they give you a glimpse into a smaller world that cannot see with you naked eye. There are also some things like big spiders that you just wouldn’t want to  put your face up close to even if you could see the detail without the need of a nice camera lens.

So what is Macro Photography?  This has to be one of the simplest definitions. Macro Photography is close up photography. Wow some definition. How bout we just enjoy some great macro photos now.

If you feel inspired after seeing some of the pictures above well then here are some great tutorials.

If you have an iphone then your in luck. A lot of people are posting great tutorials for getting macro photos using the iphone and the solutions are fairly cheap and easy to do.

If you feel like busting open your iphone then this is the tutorial for you.

    Great post! Any Macro photography of you’re own we can see soon?

  2. Street Fece:

    No sorry no photos of my own as of right now. That being said I do hope to have some soon. I am going to follow the DIYPhotography tutorial and find an old DVD player to jack the lens. I’m glad you enjoyed the post Mr. Wolf.
