One of the most unique aspects of Macro Photography is its ability to transform an object into something extraordinary.
With a macro lens, objects are photographed at such a close proximity that they often can look like something over than what they really are.
In honor of birthday week, let’s play a fun game – Mystery Macro! Below you will see ten gorgeous “mystery macro” images. In the comments, please post your guess as to what each object is – the person with the most correct answers will win (in case of a tie, we will draw one participant at random as the winner).
The winner of the game will receive a LIFETIME Membership to Clickin Moms! (A $195 value). You have until Friday, March 20, 2015 at 11:59pm PST to enter. Winner will be announced here on Saturday, March 21st. Ready, set, guess!
