Monday again! Time for new macrophotos.
First of all, I want to remind you what macro photography means. Macrophotography means photographing small and very small objects up to reproduction rates around 1: 1. The reproduction ratio is the ratio between the actual size of the subject and the size of its image on the sensor.
For today, I wanted to experiment again with snowflakes, so I mounted the macro lens on the camera and went out to hunt in the balcony. It was not easy at all because the flakes melted quickly and the most difficult thing was to find a whole flake that could be photographed from a favorable position. This is what I finally did.
Have a nice week ahead!

Wow, fantastic macro!
Waooo superb photography. I also post same snow some days ago. Very nice work friend ileana Calotescu
haha now I know what macrophotography means. Thanks for this. What most of us were doing are close up shots.
Indeed, most of us take close-up photos, but these are great too.
I have no snow so I will never be able to photograph snow.
Btw, thank you for reminding us of the definition so that I understand better. You have to understand the amateurs like me.
Your close-up photos are wonderful, Albert! I am also amateur but I like to experience new things.
Your appreciation is very encouraging, Ileana.
Let me ask, are close-ups and macros different if the object is a texture or grains like textile, sand, and sugar for example?
Close-up photography takes a subject and zooms in on it.
Macro Photography lets the subject fill all or most of the frame so that you can get more details. I can’t explain better! There is an abstract macro photo, but to take it you need a macro lens.☹☹
Yes. I visited some of your macro’s posts to learn and compare a number of things. I understand better now, including the size of the object. I tried to think about or compare the size of the object, for example between grasshoppers – larger than 5 cm – and ladybugs that are less than 0.5 cm. But the most certain one is your explanation of macro lenses.
Thanks a lot for your input, Ileana.
Wow! Nice photography…
Pardon my bad english … I still don’t quite get the meaning of macro… haiz …
Macro photography consists of photographing small subjects.(My English is far worse than yours!)
Nah, we just have our own way of writing and understanding the language :p
Hmm… I see, so if I photography an ant, and enough details is captured, that is a macro?
That photograph of the snowflake is lovely. You’ve done a good job!
Thank you very much, CoffeQueen! I would have wanted a flake with a perfect shape but it was not possible!
A superber job you did as always on this snowflake. They can be a challenge.
Thank you, Carol! I froze a little but it was worth it!
