Excellent Macro photography

[Lee]

One of the lads I work with has been getting into Macro photography quite heavily over the last couple of years.

He's suddenly become a bit of a minor celeb:

[Leeshez]

Stunning

 

[White16valver]

15 minutes of fame lol

 

[Rasclart]

WOW thats amazing.

If he continues it could make some good money as a photographer even in the short term.

I could see posters of them stuck up all over students walls. Could be a few quid in it.

Amazing, one of those "I wish I thought of that" things. Did he email everyone about his pics or was he just discovered?

 

[Lee]

It started out a few weeks back. Some German magazine featured his pics. They were voted for on his flickr account I think. Then they started getting featured on the web and it's snowballed from there.

[McBunny]

[Rasclart]

Mcbunny = liar

 

[McBunny]

nope not at all i started playing with the idea when i did the yellow competition and started doing the sale photos for my lego collection

and i dont mean doing remakes of important hostorical photos just doing macro photos of lego ! so call me a liar if you want but i have photos of it
