Capturing small subjects in magnifications is always interesting for us. We can see in details things that we don’t usually see in our daily life, there are thousands of things that we cannot notice in our naked eyes. In this special Macro edition, we would like to share some of our fellow macro Photographers works, which is stunning and maybe some of you might find it a little bit scary (can’t imagine those ants exist in that size). Hope you all can enjoy this edition as much as I do.. Mengabadikan benda-benda kecil menjadi pembesaran selalu menarik perhatian kita. Kita dapat melihat berbagai bagian detail yang tidak dapat kita lihat sehari hari, ada banyak sekali hal yang tidak dapat kita lihat dengan hanya menggunakan mata biasa. Pada edisi khusus makro ini, kami ingin menyebar luaskan karyakarya foto dari beberapa sahabat kami para fotografer makro, yang memukau dan mungkin beberapa dari anda akan terkejut dan takut (tidak mau membayangkan apabila semut-semut itu benar benar ada dalam ukuran seperti difoto) Semoga anda semua dapat menikmati edisi ini seperti saya. Warm regards, Michael Gomulya

The first time he holds a camera when he was in college majoring in graphic design in Yogyakarta in 1996. After going through the process of creative struggles he had experienced earlier then that’s where it gets a foothold to determine the direction of flow is suitable for him. He was very interested in the natural beauty of the invisible, where when he managed to paint the beauty of it with the camera, then he found the inner satisfaction that is not measurable and cannot be replaced by anything. Pertama kali mengenal kamera ketika masih kuliah jurusan desain grafis di Yogjakarta tahun 1996. Setelah melalui proses pergulatan kreatifitas yang telah ia alami sebelumnya maka dari situlah ia mendapat pijakan untuk menentukan arah aliran yang cocok untuknya. Ia sangat tertarik pada keindahan alam yang tak kasat mata, dimana ketika ia berhasil melukis keindahan itu dengan kamera, maka ia menemukan kepuasan bathin yang tak terukur dan tak bisa tergantikan oleh apapun juga.

Sampit, Kalimantan, Indonesia The thing that makes he interested in macro photography is the beauty of colors, shapes and patterns of behavior of small insects and other small objects that are difficult to see but can be seen clearly appears through macro photography. Those things make him happy. Beside it’s easy to find a place for macro photography , since he stays mostly in Kalimantan, there are still a lot of shrubs and forests so easy to find various types of insects.
Hal yang membuat ketertarikannya pada fotografi Makro adalah keindahan warna, bentuk dan tingkah pola serangga kecil serta benda-benda kecil lainnya yang secara kasat mata sulit terlihat, namun bisa terlihat jelas melalui fotografi makro. Itu yang menciptakan kesenangan tersendiri. Lagi pula untuk mencari tempat untuk fotografi makro itu mudah, karena dia lebih sering tinggalnya di Kalimantan disana masih banyak semak dan hutan sehingga mudah menemukan beraneka jenis serangga.
