“粉紅色的夢 Pink Dream” / 占星百合花花瓣 Petals of the Stargazer Lily (Lilium) / 自然微距攝影 Nature Macro Photography / SML.20130516.6D.06810

Did you know that hairy things grow on the petals of lilies? I did not. I always thought that they were just textures on the petals, but it seems that they are like pores on the human skin.

 

The joy of macro photography is similar to that of super telephoto range—it allows me to see things beyond which my eyes can normally reach.

 

I photograph this for its almost abstract formation through the bokeh. As magnification goes up, the landscape starts to shift. I can see why some photographers on Flickr are fixated on the craft of macro, as there lies pure beauty surrounding us waiting to be explored—when we are willing.
