Saturday Photography: Beautiful bugs, great actors, and more

• File under Tiny, Lovely: Smashing Magazine hosts 25 Beautiful Examples Of Macro Photography.
• National Geographic, unsurprisingly, has been offering up all kinds of great photography lately:
  • The gallery of vanishing sea ice is a beautiful bummer. (Will I ever take a shot as cool as that first seal image from Paul Nicklen? Thermally, maybe.)
  • The magazine’s photography contest winners show off solid work. For more good stuff see the 2008 International Photography Contest winners.
• Paolo Pellegrin got intimate access to photograph great performers (Penélope Cruz, Robert Downey Jr., and others) from the past year.
• I Found Your Camera hopes to reunite lost cameras & memory cards with their owners. [Via]
