Readers of Alternate Crop will remember a few macro photography posts like this one a few weeks ago, or my first one last summer. If I’m not careful this is going to develop into a hobby. I’m not really a huge fan of insects or flowers. I think my interest in macro photography comes from an effort to slow down and take a closer look at everyday things. It’s also quite challenging to sneak up on a butterfly—a very different kind of effort than this job usually requires.
