Macro photography and Close Up photography are often used interchangeably, but technically macro photography is achieved with a lens that magnifies an image by more than 1:1. Close Up photography can be done with any camera but may not achieve the level of detail and magnification of a dedicated macro lens. Still, both Macro and Close Up have the same goal – to make small objects look large. Whether you use a dedicated macro lens, a point-and-shoot, a smartphone or even a reversed lens with an adapter, we look forward to seeing your impactful images for this photo review. As always, we encourage you to create something new, and you may use any post-processing software, but your image must have been captured within the last two years. Thus, an image created before July 2019 will not be accepted.
Here’s your opportunity to take what Joey Terrill described to us in the June meeting and show us what you can do with macro and close up photography!
