Agate Rock – “Ancient Landscapes” Series
This is another image from the “Ancient Landscapes” Series.
There are so many different views, different angles, various textures and colors that one can find in many of the cut slabs of rock, and it is always a very high type of intrigue to the mind when viewing these with the macro lens.
It is something that lets the imagination to simply run wild!
In this piece, I sort of like those little strands or black streaks in the middle and at the bottom.
They remind me of some silhouetted plants or foliage coming up from the bottom.

This is my blog journal, a journal about the art that can be found in nature, about macro photography, and other topics of interest! I’m just a typical American boy, from a typical American home in South Carolina, and one who enjoys exploring all the possibilities of capturing artistic abstracts in the world of macro. This journal has been created not only as a outlet for my thoughts about the world of nature photography, but hopefully as a place where others may visit, … and maybe learn something from it. Currently I am working with various clients and art buyers throughout the US.

"Macro Art In Nature" 
Beautiful, Michael. Definitely has a spirit and life to it. I’d never guess it was rock!
Those little black bits on the bottom in the white section remind me of tiny little fairy-like mushrooms. There is always so much to see in these macros. Very cool!
So creative and beautiful. I just love how you capture grand scenes within small subjects.
I like how you show the layers of color and detail, wonderful macro.
Very cool Mr. Brown. I can relate getting lost in these all too well. I like those little black lines as well – good candidate for a vertical there? The dark contrasty edge really helps transform this into a horizon.
Now that rocks! 8-) Seriously, I really like the lines and color. It truly does have a landscape feel to it!
Wow, this a watercolor of soul. I Like you photography. The artwork talks, knock on the heart- awakes to dreams. Thank you
Thanks again everyone!
Michael
Great shots! It is amazing how macro photography can open our eyes to new beauty in things we could easly take for granted. Thanks for opening my eyes!
Ohhh, that is so nice. I do some macro, but I’ve never thought about doing the edge of a rock before. Now that I think of it I have all sorts of crystals that would look beautiful using a macro lens. Thanks for sharing
I couldn’t refrain from commenting. Perfectly
written!
