Beautiful World Of Macro Photography

Macro Photography Gallery

Welcome to my macro photography gallery. Macro photography is something that I hold very closely. My second-ever Canon L-series lens was my much-loved Canon EF 100mm F2.8L Macro lens which I purchased several years ago. The Canon 100mm F2.8L Macro is a fantastic lens that provides exceptionally sharp images with beautiful colours and contrast. I regularly pair this with a polarising filter, especially when photographing insects against leaves and other reflective plant surfaces.

Before I get too carried away, let me highlight some of my favourite shots taken with my macro lens, I hope you like them.
