I also got some inspiration from a photographer called 'Herb Sennet'.
Herb specialises in macro photography and close up nature images. He also explores landscape and still life and likes to explore with computer software. He seeks to show how impressive & valuable even the most common species are if you are prepared to view them from a more common perspective.

 

I like these images because they show the most common animals in a different way. In addition to liking these images because of the simpleness of the common animal, I also find it fascinating the amount of detail shown in the images, and how you can pick out the tiniest hair and each specific colour of the eyes. I also like how the images portray the insects. From a normal naked eye view, these insects have a simple dull colour, but these highlight the vibrant colours that can't be seen from a normal perspective.
