Macoy shared a video on Facebook the other day that got me really interested. The video was a news sidelight about a guy using "Pinhole Photography."

Pinhole photography is lensless photography wherein a tiny hole replases the lens. Light then passes through the hole and an image is formed in the camera. So, a pinhole camera is a light-tight box with a tiny hole in one end and film or photographic paper in the other.

Its inventor was Sir David Brewster who first took pinhole photographs in the 1850's

To date, pinholes are also used in surveillance and spy cameras and are used in combination with a lens for photographing miniature models, e.g. model trains or architectural models. The pinhole increases the depth of field radically. Some photographers experiment with pinhole enlargers with one pinhole or multiple pinholes. And there are pinhole magnifiers and pinhole glasses.

Here's how to make a pinhole for your DSLR.

"Almost any subject can look interesting if you only look close enough" is the motto of John Hallmin. He is an amateur bug photographer who sees a hidden beauty in bugs when looked up close and personal.

Even as a boy, John Hallmin has been fascinated by insects. There is a hidden beauty in seeing these creatures up close and personal.

"It's a pleasure to show people who are not interested in bugs something they haven't seen before and watch how they react," said 31-year-old photographer.

"Looking at a fly portrait some people will find them even more disgusting than they'd ever imagined while others will be surprised to find them quite beautiful."

John Hallmin Uses a mixture of studio and alfresco shots to magnify his images up to 23 times so as to show the beautiful colour and detail in his subjects' bug-eyed faces.

The following pictures are from the book Microcosmos by Brandon Broll, which is going to be published this month.

South African Broll, who specialises in science and health writing, said: 'The book will show readers the beauty of what is too small to see with the naked eye.

Taken by over 30 'microscopists' using a variety of powerful microscopes, Microcosmos charters a voyage through a miniature world showing the unlikeliest parts of our lives in minuscule detail.

Readers can view extreme close-ups of items including ladies' tights, the surface of the human tongue and the beautiful scales on butterfly wings.

The spectacular visuals were captured using a variety of traditional light-based microscopes, powerful scanning electron microscopes which bombard the subject with electrons and build the image using a computer and transmission electro microscopes.

Aperture, ISO, and shutter speed are the three  factors which determine exposure or the amount of light which enters your camera.

Photography is all about light, and without an ample amount of light entering your camera, you have nothing but a dark worthless picture.

Learning how to determine the right combination of Aperture, ISO, and shutter speed settings can be a tedious task, but understanding what these settings do will make it much easier.
