Macro Photography - A Whole New World

More playing with the macro lens at lunchtime today. I can see that if I find the right subjects, there's a whole new world out there under my nose.

I set out to the nearest flowers - some Hawthorn blossom and a few Celandines.

As the end of lunchtime loomed, I found a Peacock butterfly feeding on Dandelions. Fascinating, but a depth-of-field failure, I'm afraid.

On the computer screen the pollen-bearing parts of the Dandelion fascinated me so I blew this one up bigger. The Canon 100mm is amazing - this was just a grab shot really.

Loads more macro fun to come, I can see!
