Waterfalls are beautiful to photograph all year-round, but in the winter, waterfalls take on a whole new look with ice, snow, cool tones and high contrast.

Getting to explore art in various ways becomes even more exciting when your eyes are behind the lens of a camera.  Edward Tomasso has previously touched upon the art of drone photography in his blog series, which allows the photographer to capture an image on a macro scale, referring to a very large view from the sky of what's below. But what if you look the opposite way, at something very, very small.  This is know as micro photography.  Micro photography is the opposite of macro photography, and involves looking very up-close to certain objects.
