500px might be best known for glorious landscapes that boggle the mind with their sheer size… and it should be. After all, we boast users like Max Rive, Jamey Pyles, and Javier de la Torre.
But as stacked as our user base is with incredible photographers who specialize in capturing the unfathomably massive, it’s also packed full of those who prefer to capture the magical, miniature worlds of macro photography.
One such 500px user and lover of small things is Wil Mijer, whose macro photographs of frogs, butterflies and other small critters will transport you out of your desk chair and into a dream-world you didn’t even know existed.
Speaking with Bored Panda, the Netherlands-based photographer reveals that she shoots her photos with a Canon 40D and 100mm macro lens. She always uses a tripod and remote to help keep things as stable as possible, and each photo is, “taken quickly, so the frogs are not adversely impacted.”
