I Take Macro Images Of Everyday Items To Show What People Don't See Every Day (34 Pics)

I tried the reversed macro lens way back in 2012 for the first time. Back then, I first photographed things that mostly weren't moving at all or just very little.
Turned out that the world is really interesting when you look at it from a close perspective, even the non-living things. Drops on a DVD disc, bubbles in a water bottle, concrete, electronic components, mechanical instruments... all of that can look very different from normal when you get closer. And a double ratio reversed lens is more than enough for this.
To be honest, I haven't stopped taking macro pictures entirely, especially when it came to colder months of the year when you couldn't find insects and plants alive in nature. Instead, I used artificial objects, which you can photograph anytime at home.
I collected some of the pictures from the last 7-8 years, and hope some of you will be surprised when looking at the details of how some everyday stuff can look from up close.

Macro image of a dusty and corroded electronic circuit board connector showing details people don't see daily.
This happens if a drop of water gets into your phone's USB connector and simply dries out. It destroyed (oxidated) some of the connector's pins which were soldered to the phone's mainboard - this is the backside of the connector.
Macro can be very useful for documenting electronic repairs, I often use it when I'm repairing stuff.
