Close-Up in Nature

My first effort in close-up works. It is a whole new wonderful world in the ``micro'' scale. In most of these photos, I kept a note on the image magnification. One type of notation is, for example, "1:2", meaning the image on the 24mm x 36mm (1"x1.5") film is 1/2 of the real size. Another notation is, for example, "2x", meaning the image on the film is twice the life size. The former is usually used for smaller-than-life-size images, and the latter for larger-than-life-size images.
