It seems when it comes to macro photography the number one subject that photographers shoot is flower and followed by bugs.

Flowers are beautiful colorful subjects that are easy to find and can be shot outside or inside making them the most popular subject to shoot.

I think people forget there are tons of other subjects to shoot when it comes to macro photography.

It can be lots of fun spending time in nature searching out all these examples of subjects you can shoot.

So many opportunities to photograph the many different kinds of leaves throughout the four seasons.

Head to a beach where you can photograph seashells or bird feathers lying on the sand.

In the Fall head to the woods to shoot mushrooms.

In the Fall head to the open fields and hopefully you have some Milkweed Pods.

Early Spring and summer we have Dandelion and Goatsbeard flower seedheads to shoot.

If you live in the north, during the cold winter you can find ice puddles and stream edges to shoot artistic ice images.

If you live in the south or west, you can photograph all the tropical or desert plant life.

Summertime brings out the spider webs.

I love shooting fiddleheads ferns in the woods.

There are all kinds of interesting plant life.

Rocks

Tree Trunks

Seach out sun backlighting for shadows.

So as you can see, lots of great ideas for subject matter, and a great way to spend time in nature. Mother nature provides us with all this amazing artwork. Keep shooting your flowers and bug but expand to other subjects as well.
