Microscopic Photography

Nature is all around us. - However, in nature photography we focus mostly on what can be seen by human eye. If we want to go for exceptional nature pictures we might mount a macro lens or a diopter onto our camera. Very rarely we go beyond the optical resolution power of the human eye.

Michael Peres posted an article on the Popular Photography Blog on Microscopic Photography.

The article features examples of stunning microscopic images of snow flakes, microscopic organisms, material surfaces, and scientifically prepared samples of nature samples.

Microscopic photography is truly a special and a niche discipline of nature photography. It goes much beyond macro and super macro imaging techniques. It is a whole new world by means of imaging, exposure, image composition, and light guidance.

It is definitely not only a special imaging but also a sample preparation and lighting technique.
