Close Up Photos - Getting the Details

[ Back to Photography Index ]

One of the joys of close up photography is the element of surprise. By shifting the focus from the big picture to the small details, travelers can uncover unexpected beauty in the most unlikely places. A rusted door hinge, a quirky street sign, or a patch of graffiti can all become captivating subjects when viewed through the lens of a skilled photographer.

Moreover, photography of the details of things offers a fresh perspective on familiar destinations. Even in well-trodden tourist hotspots, there are countless details waiting to be discovered by those willing to look closely. By training their eye to seek out these hidden treasures, travelers can uncover a whole new side of a destination that others may overlook.

By moving up close to an object you can create some really interesting photos. This detailed view of the Golden Gate Bridge is still recognisable as being of the bridge, but shows a view of an iconic destinatoin that is not usually photographed.
