Macrophotography is Awesome (56k-Go-Away)

I just got a new camera, and I discovered macrophotography. Which is taking pictures of things close up.

For example, this spider I found in the bathroom today. He was dining, and didn't seem to mind posing for the camera.

He looks huge, but really he's only about the size of my pinky nail.

Awesome.

If you do macrophotography too, lets see your stuff!

    just dont let it go to your head, if you're gonna use macro, produce interesting or good photos

    the novelty of macros of random faucets or mechanical bits like bolts or flowers or bugs wears wears off after the 2nd or 3rd shot. do something other people arent doing with their own first discovery of macro mode

    same goes for eyes, which everyone does at least once :P (but the first one is neat, SS)

    Hell I just discovered this shit because I noticed my camera had a "macro" setting. I love seeing all the little details you'd never see with you unaided eye.

    The eye close-up is awesome.

    Also, I don't think I could ever get tired of close up pics of bugs. They're so goddamn freaky looking. I gotta think of interesting things to take pics of...

    You can apply that "mini" effect in photoshop, it's just a faux aperture blur, nothing more.

    "Hey, could you be a little more careful when you put your sheet into the next bin. I had to change the mixtures like three times yesterday."
    "Oh yeah sure, but could you stop making shit up?"

    Well, at least I managed to go a full semester without learning that I was supposed to be using the drum wash.

    Good to know.

    I've got one of these. It's attacking a double decker bus shaped pencil sharpener. Shitty pictures though.

    Oh I see.

    It was because I saw a line down his face in the first picture that indicated he was made of plactic and put together right there, but then in the second pic the line was gone.
