"MacroPhotography" news and stories

So often, we forget about the simple beauty of basic, familiar foods. This close-up look at the humble saltine reminds me of how appealing the look and texture of food can be (and makes me want to pull out my macro lens and start playing around with close shots of food.

Thanks Angela!

The blueberry is one of my very favorite fruits. Every summer I make a point of getting out to Mood's Farm Market in South Jersey in order to pick my fill (and get enough for several batches of jam). I've always recognized the beauty of a blueberry's form, but it never occurred to me to get in there with a macro lens and capture that loveliness in this particular way.

Thanks Crystal!

Passover starts Saturday night, the holiday during which Jews give up all leavened products for a period of 7 or 8 days. Instead, we eat matzo. Stacks and stacks of matzo. However, until I saw this picture, I never really thought about how beautiful such a basic food item could be. Thanks Ohad*, for the lovely image!
