| A Closer Look |
| Macro photography is the art of taking close-up pictures that reveal details which often can't be appreciated with the naked eye. It gives us a glimpse into the world of the very small, a world that usually goes unnoticed as we hurry through the day. |
| Photo Credits: Most of the photos on this page came in a powerpoint presentation shared with me by my e-friend, Linda. Others are courtesy of ScenicReflections, AtomicTemplates, VizualaBauda, Birds&Blooms |
