Impressive augmented photography is what we are showing you if you had never heard about Macro photography. This type of photography shows every detail of everyday objects and things, but observed from a very close perspective. Therefore, what’s interesting about this type of pictures is that many of the features and details that we do not usually notice with our eyes or in panoramic regular pictures, are shown in the macro shots. What is photographed is enlarged to the point of resembling gigantic.
The pictures we’ll show you were taken by the winners of the 2017 Nikon Photography competition. Are you ready to watch them closely?
Mold in a tomato, Netanya (Japan)

You can’t deny that more than once you took a tomato and noticed that it has mold and couldn’t stop observing it. Well that's how it looks from very close.

In this picture we can observe , from a very detailed point of view, a type of dandelion while pollination is done.
Piromorfita, España

This is a mineral that consists of chloride and lead phosphate, and usually takes the form of green and yellow crystals as shown in this picture. Do not get excited, it will not give you any superpower.
Minerals, Madrid

These are two types of minerals, Coxenite and Nsutite, seen from very close. Hard to believe that they look like this, since it looks like something from an extraterrestrial land.
Human cells, Amsterdam

Plastic fracture, Texas

Tapeworm, New York

Also known as solitaires, they are like earthworms found in raw pork and cause a large intestinal infection. Always check that your food is well cooked or you will find one of these inside you.
Jumping spider, Istanbul
Nikon.
We know that spiders are something spooky for anyone, but that's how they look from a very close perspective. At least, their lashes make them less frightening,
Sea cucumber, Le Mans
Nikon.
Although in the image they look like many colored anchors, this is the skin of a sea cucumber seen from very close.
Caterpillar, Netanya
Nikon.
Normally no one wants to see or be near a caterpillar, but this is how the abdomen and bottom of a caterpillar looks as it walks through the leaves and trees.
Seaweed Volvox, Nantes
Nikon.
If the first thing that came to your mind was a Pacman, you are like any other person. This is a type of microscopic chlorophyte seaweed releasing their daughters.
Megachiroptera’s fetus, Colorado
Nikon.
Megachiroptera is a species of bat, and in this image we can observe a fetus in its third trimester.
Moth, Rostock
Nikon.
Yes, these little animals that you usually see flying everywhere during the night, are that hairy, at least they look like that, like a chicken.
Broccoli, Washington
Nikon.
If you are one of those who do not like broccoli, at least, you can see it that closely. Very similar to a bush, right?
Lily, Southampton
Nikon.
If you like Lilies, and you are used to observing them in the vase on the dining room table, this is how you see the pollen of this beautiful flower from the closest perspective ever.
Opiliones, Washington
Nikon.
This species of arachnid, better known as reapers, are well known for being the terror of many people for their large and long legs. In this image we can observe their eye from very close.
Excavating wasp
Nikon.
If you thought that only people had their eyes dilated, this image proves you were wrong. Here we can see some of the many eyes of the excavator but dilated.
Moth eggs, Illinois
Nikon.
Previously we could observe a moth closely. If you had never asked yourself what the moth eggs looked like, here they are, on a spider's web. Let's hope they do not eat them.
Fly, Abu Dhabi

We all know flies, they are very annoying and they have big eyes. Here you can see them more in detail. Take a look at their incredible colors. Simply wonderful!
