Picture This! -- Our Next Assignment

Macro World
Our next assignment for Picture This! is Macro World, the amazing views of color, design, and form we get when we shoot using a macro or close-up lens. When we frame our images with lenses that allow us to get super-close we see worlds not usually contemplated by the human eye. We invite readers to share their visions of this most amazing point of view. This photo was made with an Olympus E-3 and an Olympus 25mm f/2.8 lens. Exposure of this very small section of ice against a
lichen-covered rock was f/5.6 at 1⁄50 sec at ISO 800.
