I agree that macro can really alter your reality. I've got to get myself a macro lens to play with. This is a nice image with the red knob on the gray background. And very sharp as well.

Okay, what kind of helmet is it :)

Beautiful point of view, very nice colours.

I wouldn't know what a welding helmet looks like.
You are right about macro photography having the capability to open new worlds.

What an amazing close-up ... I can see you have a lot of fun !

striking

Bonsoir,
Opening new world..Awesome shot..Bravo!

Wow! Amazing... I would never have guessed it right !

This is captivating with its iridescent colour and background texture.

very well done Pieter!
What I like most with my Macro lens is the whole new world you can find there

I love that metallic red

I completely agree to your point of view.
Is this the original colours or is it PS ? Nevertheless very nice colour !!

Cool macro, had no idea what I see until reading your words. good work.

un beau traitement pour des formes et des couleurs harmonieuses. une belle photo de rien!

Weird, but somehow quite beautiful.

Absolutely stunning! The textural definition is amazing and I can visually feel the plasticity of the composite material the knob is made from. Really beautiful abstract macro.

macro gives always new interesting details of a object, this one is very nicely done.

great macro shot. I'm like you - I love to get the macro out once in a while!!

The best part about macro shots is reading what the object actually is. Excellent capture.
