Weekly Challenge May 19- 25

"Macro-ish"
- (TwistedThrottle)'s Choice

Lets shoot macro-ish this week. Close up photography, fine detail photography, blown out background, etc. . Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY May 19
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.




The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread including all elements of composites.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

5. This is intended to be a FUN challenge. No critiques unless specifically asked. Also, please limit posts to just photos and brief descriptions/titles. Any comments/discussion should occur elsewhere, PLEASE.



Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

Put my ancient 85-205mm ƒ/3.8 Vivitar zoom on a 36mm macro extension tube, and took random shots at clover blossoms. This was with the lens zoomed in to 205mm, and the aperture fully open to ƒ/3.8, invoking the odd effects that this lens produces at wide aperture settings.

Submission time is over. During the next 24 hours, please 'like' the photos of your choice that best represent Macro-ish. Marilynne is still waiting to hear back from the last challenge winner for a new weekly topic. Hopefully something will be posted by noon EDT tomorrow (about 16 hours from now). Sorry for any inconvenience.
