The Art of Macro Photography
Getting up close to these little creatures allowed me to see details that are usually hidden from the naked eye. With my macro lens, I could bring out the vibrant textures of butterfly wings, the fine details of a beetle’s shell, and the sheer delicacy of damselfly wings in ways I’d never imagined.
