Macrophotography is Awesome (56k-Go-Away)
AbsoluteZeroThe new film by Quentin KoopantinoRegistered Userregular
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...
AZ a cool bug one would be like... having a "giant" spider assaulting a very tiny town either because of a camera trick or because you have some miniature toy city
"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.

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

Tired of making tiny things look big? Try photographing big things so they look like puny miniatures!

EDIT: Stupid image shack resized it.... I can't access my FTP hosting so, I'm boned on that one I guess.
Here's a couple crops of it anyways...

I'll be damned if there's a bigger group of assholes on campus, though.
Yeah no kidding

Good to know.
This one is absolutely stunning.
What hardcore lens are you using that can get such a short depth of field at macro?
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I think I farted, but maybe I pooped. Now I gotta go check.

Too bad they are super expensive and I'm on the verge of being broke.

Ok that was a lie.
But think of the possibilities.
