CLOSEUPphotography
In CLOSEUPphotography objects are placed abnormally close to the camera or placing the camera unusually close to the subjects to be photographed, hence the captured images are much larger than in normal photography. Most current compact digital cameras have macro capability, -not the real macro in photographic sense actually - just closeup.
The following closeup pictures were shot with Olympus C-5050z, a 5MP Compact Digital Camera in macro and s-macro mode.
Brilliant head! not very colorful though
the SPECTRUM of visible colors

On one clear day, early in the morning, I took the apportunity to take several quick snapshots of these colorfulNATURE to experiment with the compact digital camera ability taking close-up shots. I understand that taking pictures of plant and flowers is best before 10:00am, i.e before morning dew dries out.
I could feel the morning cood breeze passed my ears while composing this shot.
This wild orchid stood out prominently amongst the fern leaves - attracted my attention.
Dew drops on banana leaf gave the feeling of the morning freshness.
During childhood, I was amazed by the sensitivity of this "touch-me-not" plant. What a wonderful world!
Red spots on yellow petals reminded me of beautiful Malaysian batiks.
As the sun rolling high up the blue sky, morning dew began to evaporate away, I could only saved the last drop underneath one of these bird-of-paradise petals.
...by then it was already 10:00am something.
...tender young leaf of bird-nest-fern
By the time I took this picture it was already 11:00am. It seemed that all the morning dew has dried out. A spider has already started daily duty on the web-site.
Before calling off the day, I quickly shot these pictures...
About noon... and it was lunch time for these ants, so did I.
Note: Before buying Olympus C-5050 in 2003, I'd been using a Canon Powershot A-series digicam since previous millennium. At first I was thinking of upgrading to Canon Powershot G-series. Click here for the reasons why.
