Photography contest #82

[Chiaki]

Thank you so much for the win guys!

 

The theme for this round is Macro.

I know we've had this one before but not in aggges and it's one of my favourites.

 

A macro shot is something taken at close range.

Examples:

Cat eye

Thissle

 

The Rules:

- One entry per person

- Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra.

- No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, colour balance, lighting, etc.)

- No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo.

- When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness.

- You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition.

 

 

Deadline: Monday, November 18th

My entry: After the rain

[XDLugia]

A Rose

It doesn't hurt to try at least once.

[Pixxelation]

Crape Myrtle

 

I think this may be too far away to be considered macro, but I thought I'd let you decide. I have another shot that's definitely macro I can enter if this is deemed to not be

 

Decided to go with the other shot.

Humm, I think I will accept it Pie!

 

Really stunning colours in your shot, xdlugia! Well pretty ^^

 

Ahh Nim, all of your shots are stunning but I do have a soft spot for your macro work! :3

[Nimrodel]

Thanks, Chiaki! ^^ I really enjoy doing macro shots

Dude! I have to post the thing!! D':

[Pixxelation]

Yay! Thanks, Chiaki! I may end up pulling that one and entering the other, though Time will tell.

[sparkle10184]

I hope this counts as macro:

goat

 

I'm kinda disappointed in this photo, but it's all I have for macro.

[Pixxelation]

Went with the other shot (although its still not really macro, it's definitely a lot closer).

 

Sea Turtle and Amethyst

[Omen]

It's still the 18th DC time right? (It is according to the AoND clock, anyway)

 

Varanus komodoensis - Komodo Dragon

Taken at Taronga Zoo, Australia. I want a macro lens.

 

Gorgeous photos, everyone.

[JayJem]

Woooh wow, such a general topic for me [i do too many macro / close-up shots :0]

But hopefully this counts as macro enough:

 

Small Purple Flowers

EDIT: That version's a bit dark :0

Trying this one instead: Version 2

 

These flowers really are small The buds themselves aren't even really that much bigger than the tip of my finger, so.. Hopefully it works out :0

 

D: That was a hard decision though wow. /has a lot of macros

[Aamaranthine]

Well, guess this counts, even though it is not real macro, as I don't have good camera.
