Inspiration   July 15, 2010  by

Inspiration can come from the smallest things. Today’s post demonstrates this very well. Examples of macro or close-up photography like these can jolt us out of the usual way we see things, and excite us into looking at our environment from a different perspective. Check out this roundup and explore with us the almost alien, but definitely beautiful world of the small!

    Oh my God, awesome! I never succeed taking great macro photos, at least I can admire some online. :)
    Thanks!

    They all look larger than life. Common place things never looked so stunning. Great images & posts. Keep the good work flowing.

    I have recently started my own blog on Macro Photography too. Do visit & let me know your comments.

    Great shots

    Some of the insect shots were a surprise to look at. But really, these are all exceptional! Always been a fan of macro photography, and these are wonderful. Thanks for the roundup!

    Have never been fond of insects, but these macro shots are amazing (I wonder how close was the photographer)? The images of autumn, violet and ladybird are my favorites.

    Some amazing pictures. I especially love ‘Insectuality 10′ I like the fact it has a little bit of humor. The huge fly (Macro Worx) is amazing too, it looks like its come straight out of a horror film but then the spider (Insectuality 2) looks quite friendly. Great pictures took in a great style. Its really fascinating to be able to see what the eye cant.

    I’m not sure they inspire me so much as they FREAK ME OUT. Wow, some of those bugs are scary looking when viewed up close.
