Very beautiful
I really like the quality and the details of the photos.
Macro photography is so fascinating, it’s amazing how up close you can get to the subject to pick up every little texture and hair. I disagree with aledesign.it, I think the insects are far more interesting than the flowers. In comparison the flowers seem boring. You never get to see an insect up close like that. The ants are brilliant and my absolute favourite has to be the frog with the insect on it’s head. Jimmy Hoffman must have been really satisfied when he took that shot!
These are amazing! I absolutely love macro photography but have just never saved up the $$ for one of those high dollar lenses. Thanks for sharing though.
FUK apparel,
A lot of inexpensive point and shoot cameras now have macro modes. The quality may not be as high as the cameras used in some of these examples, but you can still get some pretty good results without a huge investment.
Incredible photos!
Thanks a rare work has been very good
Impressive photographs …..thy look so damn real..its completely incredible…
Amazing set of macros, really stunning! I always have been a macro photography fan and with a gallery like I can spent a lot of timing enjoying all these beauty. It’s really difficult to say buy If I would vote for one it will be the praying mantis from Jimmy Hoffman for a great focus on the main subject and amazing use of light.
I know nothing about Macro photography but trying to learn as much as I can over the winter months…. sort of an escape from the wedding photography, doing something just for the fun of it. These shots are simply mind blowing, if I could get something even 10% this quality I would be a very happy man.
Beautiful!
These are excellent samples of macro photography. I love the first one because the eggs of the insect are like hundreds of eyes watching you ! I also like the second one because is very artist and of coarse the sixth one which is very minimalistic.
Very good samples to follow !
