Macro filters

I have always loved the idea of taking a picture that lets you see more or differently than the naked eye.  Macro photography doesn't have to do that but my personal preference has always been, let me see this differently, bigger, like I'm looking through a microscope... 

Many years ago when I was just starting out in the digital photography world and had my first camera that allowed interchangeable lenses and filters, I started out with macro filters instead of a macro lens.  The results may not have had the perfect detail I can get now, but the filters could provide an ethereal quality that I do not get with my macro lens.

I had a good trip and came back with both good an bad pictures.  This is to be expected.  I don't know of anyone who only ever takes a perfect picture every image they take.  The good thing about the bad pictures it they give you a chance to analyze them, see what you did verses what you should have done to make them better. After that is done, delete them. 😉

Enough about the bad pictures.  Here are some good ones from my trip.
