My favourite abstract macro photo I ever took was when I pointed my macro lens at the opening of a toothpaste tube. I fired a high power flash from the top through the tube. The photo turned out looking like an intricate ice cave on an alien planet 😄
Back in film days we called it '"Whatzits?" Macro shots were taken of everyday items at macro distances asking viewers to guess what it was. Some popular (but too easy, then) subjects were record grooves or needles and parts of a dial telephone. Those would not work today since too many people have no idea what those things are at any distance but the idea could still work. You would disagree with one rule. We always made something sharp in every photo. Why buy a great Laowa lens (I have the 85 and 105) when all you want is abstract fuzziness?
