[May's monthly post] 10 photos that...get up close. (Macro shots)



Macro photography, usually means photographing objects or living creatures extremely close up. For this months '10 photos that...' I will taking a look at things that are so close up that you'll either be amazed or slightly creeped out!

While searching for macro shots, I wanted to pick ones that were slightly different, not your usual up close flower shots.
