Welcome to the >>> Macro and Close Up Fortnightly Thread. #1 (251126) <<<
As some of us have specialised more in our photography, we offer this thread to celebrate the Near and the Magnified.
Several members have expressed an interest in a dedicated thread, so, show us what you've been up to.
Although we'd like to see your most recent efforts, there is no limit on when shots were taken; especially if they demonstrate an interesting technique.
Please share HOW your shot was taken. If the gear you used is speccy, be it lighting, or a fancy table rig, chuck in some shots of that, we're all interested.
Please ensure your EXIF, your CAM and your LENS info is visible, (people love to know), and if you STACKED, scribble a brief note so we know how you done it.
Please be generous with your posting size, pixel peepers live here. Watermarks will be tolerated, but frowned upon.
Macro vs Close up will not be a thing here, both will be acceptable. The Flowers and Insects will just have to get along.
The whole point of this thread is to encourage people, it's not a contest, so have a go!
This thread will trial FORTNIGHTLY to give the more slow moving time to finish their masterworks.
Of course, if you find your shot straying into the surreal, don't forget the Abstract and Experimental Thread.
Guidelines:
1.The thread is open to all members of the forum to show their own work.
2. Please post your single images (preferable) or a selection of images on a theme in a single post (again, preferable).
....Try not to exceed three photos per post, it's hard enough to soak in the magnificence of even one of your shots!
3. Please try to stay within topic.
4. Title your picture with something. If you're not Shakespeare, just a minimal description is fine.
5. Expect feedback if you post; It's A Forum.
6. If you don't want your picture modified, say so. Otherwise, expect some tinkerage.
7. Feel free to comment or query, It's A Forum, but don't abuse the frequency counter either.
8. Suggestions to improve the thread will be welcome and might even be adopted.
9. The aim here is minimal moderation. Be nice, and remember, responding to a reply never hurts.
Looking forward to seeing your work, Ron
