One of the reasons why I like and have several macro lenses is the unique ability to capture very small and tiny subjects. The ones that we often overlook or small details that we miss. The versatility of being to capture subjects near or far gives the macro lens a unique way of seeing the world around us.
In my view the subject isolation and narrow depth of field at close focus lend a magical photographic perspective that separates colour and shape and brings out the details that we all too often miss with the naked eye.
Where I live is an urban tropical jungle. There are no nice rolling meadows, no breathtaking mountains nor the variety offered by the change of the seasons. It's lush tropical greenery for the most part. So from time to time it's a treat to shoot flowers and plants at the macro level.
These were taken this year with the DFA 100mm f/2.8 Macro. Thanks to the Pentax in-body Shake Reduction, the hand held shots are acceptably sharp. All shot with available light.
