How things break down
when I get close into
the strange ugliness
of what I don't recognize,
particles that
fall out of the whole,
new worlds.
In them I see
images of whatever is
unresolvable, chaotic
stones, unshaped cloud,
ragged motion of the sea.

I fully take on board that it's a case of 'each to their own' but can anyone explain to me, the point of taking photos like these? I personally don't find them interesting or pleasing to the eye. I apologise if my comments come across as rude, theyre not meant to be it's only my opinion. I don't understand the reason for this type of picture whatsoever.

My teenagers enjoy seeing what different things look like under a microscope. I am sure there are some people that find this type of photography intriguing. If it is not for you that is okay, too.
There are plenty of other threads and information here in the forums. We would also love to see some of your work in progress. Thanks!

I appreciate what you say, it's just that personally I didn't find them at all interesting and that's why I said, 'each to their own.' I suppose because I'm new to photography in general I am sticking to 'obvious topics' such as my dog, mrs etc until I can boast a bit.
I apologise if what I think is offensive to anyone as it really wasn't meant to be. Unfortunately I have an opinion on just about everything meaning that If I like something I will sing its praises and you have read my opinion if I don't.

I don't think you comments were offensive - the micrographs do nothing for me either. The choice of subjects available to us is close to infinite and whatever we choose, others will prefer different subjects. Generally, when someone posts a picture you can learn something from it - if you don't, pass on by.

I am just a curious man. I can't say there is a photographic point to these. But I was able to grab a view through my microscope using a small digicam. Some times the images are more fun than other times.

Fair comment from both yourself and JohnM.

Don, I am also curious about anything in the natural world, as well as about anything to do with photography. Perhaps the issue here is that these images are not of a standard to satisfy the former curiosity in an educatively interesting way, although they might appeal to the latter curiosity for some viewers as examples of abstract art images. Just my opinions, of course.

I agree Phillip. I'm working on it. However, I did think these crystal-like structures in the potato skin looked interesting. Keep in mind, I'm not looking at as an educator or a scientist but as a curious artist.
