Macrophotography In Nature

Macrophotography contests taking you up close and personal with a lens.

Being an amateur photographer (total amateur) I enjoy what was available in nature to photograph on the day, making this more enjoyable sharing and seeing others posts from around the world.

Life is what we make it, keeping original content on all posts means firing up the camera regularly taking you outdoors. No excuse to be behind a computer all day long, those short breaks throughout the day to keep you alert.

Macrophotography of the Gaudy Commodore Butterfly, not sure if it was the butterfly or the flower that led to this one, both equally alluring on presentation.

Living on the coast, holidaying into remote areas where marine plants and life are protected always lovely to go exploring rock pools, finding exquisite clear pools to photograph. Waving under the water some of the delicate plant species, quite close in for macrophotography.

My garden, having abandoned use of pesticides, favouring natural remedies some pink blooms to impress taken from underneath, petal veins, stamen and pollen all in dazzling pink, belly up macrophotography capturing the moment.

Carry your camera whenever you go outdoors, important when cultivating creativity as a nature photographer, especially when you are not in the mood, around each corner something is waiting to be captured, making your content unique.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Photography is very beautiful and really interesting ... take a very good picture. I like your posts and I want to share your posts. Thank you @joanstewart

Appreciate you visiting @zikridesaigrafi

I fully agree! It’s great outdoors and you appreciate it so much more when you photograph the little things! I love your pic of the pink flower! That’s my favorite :)

Pink so pretty in any garden @wildwanderer

@joanstewart this is a WOW post lady Joan. I have never thought about using the macro setting at the coast. Great pictures indeed! Blessings!

Bit of a challenge with sun reflecting off the water (similar to inland photography you shared around small dam)

Cape will offer many rock pools if memory serves me well.

Enjoying some much needed rain today, cold with snow all over the country, look forward to the photography with snow in the mountains down there.

The photos do not show that you are amateur photographer.

It is a passion and hobby @blogjeremiah always in nature exploring.

Lovely macro photographs @joanstewart. I especially like the rock pool one. 😊

Fascination with rock pools, wish I had equipment to go into the water @gillianpearce

i like all your pictures, amaizing job with the camera, greetings

I know it's not really close up but second one is just stunning.

Yup, camera was just shy of taking a dip!

Taking macro photography is one more good reason. You also do some execirce when taking photo .

Makes for getting down and dirty sometimes..

I really love this kind of Photos i love nature .

Beautiful pictures you got here, too natural.

So... you’re saying you’re amateur photographer? These pictures look professional to me 😊

Enjoy nature, thanks for the kind words.

I love the butterfly flower

Nature is amazing. God is wonderful.

Gorgeous photos @joanstewart, I'm forever taking photos these days, all thanks to steemit and you know what - it's like my eyes have been opened up to seeing little miracles in nature!

Doing something different does open our eyes to things we may not have seen before, enjoyed your food photography and presentation @lizelle

Stay wrapped up warm, sounds like a lot of snow will be falling in the Drakensberg overnight, wish I was there.

Lovely rain we're having, enjoying the cool weather before the hot hot summer hey! I'd give anything to be in the berg now! Enjoy the rest of the weekend :)

Good luck for the contest.

beautiful photos from Your garden.
I also try to keep my camera always with me.
going for a walk, I can always meet a lot of interesting things :)

Having a small pocket camera is ideal with zoom and macro for what I do capturing life through the lens on the move....

Underwater plants looks amazing.

Loved the colours swaying around beneath the surface, small fish moved to hide too quickly!

Beautiful photos!
My favorite is the 1st photo with a butterfly.

Good luck in the contest!
And thanks for the tip, I'll try too. :)

Have fun finding and sharing your photo's @eto-ka

So beautiful!
The colour very contrast!

Wow this is lovely, you make me feel like becoming a photographer. Very nice and beautiful shots.

Well you're the best 'amateur' photographer I've ever seen. You should see if you can get your shots uploaded to unsplash or similar sites.

upvoted and resteemed

Encouragement appreciated, will take a look at sites mentioned (when internet connection is better than current) never considered my photography good enough other than the absolute pleasure of sharing.

Simply Beautiful and Nicely Taken 👍👍

Thanks @orakzai visit is appreciated.

These are nice pics. And yes you are right, sometimes we have to leave our PC to get out a little bit more and breathe the fresh air.

Short breaks are needed @joel0101 we forget time on occasion, not at all healthy!

That first photo is amazing! Beautiful macro shots!

I also enjoy going on a walk during the day instead of staying behind the computer all day long.

Thank you for sharing Joan!

That last image is quite amazing. Well done, and thanks for sharing your photography with us.
