The Best Macro Photos Ever

Today we present you with the most beautiful macro photos, the work of Wolfgang Ulemann, the German photographer who says that photography was his passion since he was twelve years old. Here goes his story:

“I started doing this when I was twelve years old. My first experience I have gained in Frankenberg movie theater and various photo clubs, which I went to along with my father. When I was fourteen, my father stopped going to the club and entrusted me with all our equipment. In those years when I worked in the apiary, I learned to appreciate and love nature. My attention was always attracted to insects and flower buds, because the macro these objects provides a very beautiful and spectacular photos. I’d like to see my works have inspired people to know this amazing natural world that surrounds us. After all, we are often so preoccupied with our troubles, not to notice the beauty that is very close. “

Look Deeply into my Eyes

Thomas Shahan, 21-year-old photographer brought us the world of beetles, spiders and caterpillars. To make one single photograph, he has to prepare for hours. However, it is worth it – he manages to capture images of the eyes of insects in all their complexity. I know this might sound a bit strange, but I think these insects have really beautiful and hypnotizing eyes. Just have a look at these images below and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Cute little monsters

This is what insects look like under microscope! They look like aliens, monsters and creatures from science fiction movies. I always thought that those people that designed and created aliens and monsters in movies are really geniuses, but it turns out they actually have pretty good microscopes. I don’t know if it’s just me or do you find them in some weird and twisted way cute too? Also, I expected the Dog flea to look like a little redneck and to sing “Food on the corner”, but it didn’t pan out. icon smile

Vietnamese Vodka

Wow! Now, I’m not sure if I’m more amazed, scared or abhorred. This is simply disgusting. I can’t imagine drinking this Vietnamese Vodka with all those insects and reptiles in it. Apparently this sort of alcohol — liquor infused with insects or reptiles — is very popular in some Asian cultures, as it is believed to be an aphrodisiac. No matter how aphrodisiac it might be, you won’t see me anytime soon having a swing from that bottle. How about you? Would you drink this rattlesnake-infused vodka?
