Do you ever get bored with photographing the world around you...as you see it? If so, there are a few options available to you to ease the boredom:
However, there is one area that not many people venture into but when they do, they are hooked!
Micro photography
Not to be mistaken for macro photography where you work on a 1:1 ratio much of the time. Super micro photography takes you much deeper and closer into this strange world. Micro photography gives you an almost infinite realm of subject matter and things to explore.
Much like underwater photography in our vast oceans, micro photography takes you to another place entirely. There are things in this micro world that remain unseen to us in everyday life. However, when you attach your camera to a microscope, it's like a new universe opens up before you to explore.
