Macro - Aura Martinez

This first shot was taken of bubbles on a black table that I blew using a straw and vapor to create an interesting frosted appearance.

 This next shot was taken of a bottle of nail polish. I was drawn to the glitter in the polish which sparkled extremely well in the light.

For this shot of the strawberry I was trying to capture the pattern of the seeds and the intricate way they conform to the overall shape.

This shot was taken of my boyfriend's eye while he was looking into a fireplace. I liked how you can see the fire in his eye.

I took this shot of some extremely small spools of thread trying to capture the detail.

 This shot was taken of my cactus which has some interesting thorns and roots that caught my eye.

The weather has been really hard to work around lately, but I was able to take this last shot of an ice hanging by a stream in the park where I walk my dog.
