above: my own photograph, taken Febrary 9th, 2012
(above: photo found on internet at http://www.pxleyes.com/photography-picture/4f194b5113ccb/high-resolution/Up-close.html)
I first shot the above photograph on my own, of my own hair. I wanted to snap a photo of extreme detail of something that i never look at up close. To be honest, i never really pay much attention to my hairstrands (i don't know really anyone that does, actually). I also took the photo in such a way that i captured a lot of light on the hair, to really bring out each individual hue. I then searched for a photo online of something that is not normally looked at up-close but that was taken in extreme detail, with some emphasis on the exposure of light. So, this is a very close-up photo of a piece of rope, which is not something you can normally look at closely. What i like about both photos is their ability to show things that we don't normally see the detail in---in a way that shows every detail.
