Week 314: Macro

Our theme this week Macro, and we’d love to see what creative macro nature images you can take! There is a massive world of tiny life out there just waiting to be discovered with your camera.

Perhaps you will photograph an insect in your garden, or focus on the tiny details of your favourite flower, or the textures and patterns of a tree or body of water. You may decide to use dedicated macro equipent if you have it. Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for photographs showcasing the macro world are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring images you can create.
