Wrapping Up Macro-March

March 29th, 2014
Wow, all! Can't believe we are already to the last weekend of March (and there is still no grass and no flowers and no budding trees here in Wisconsin).

Did you shoot something on your macro bucket list (or make up a macro bucket list)? Here was one I have been dying to get right - how to details in description:



For these last few days, I thought we'd just keep ahead with "bucket list" macro and the marco-march4 tag. Check our the others macro-march3 tag, macro-march2 and macro-march for even more ideas and inspiration.

Just a reminder that if you are sharing a photo to this discussion or tagging a photo for the theme, please try to spend a few minutes searching the tag and commenting on two or more other Macro March photos. Everyone loves comments and feedback, and with so many amazing photos, no one person could keep up with them all! You can even go back to previous discussions and leave comments:

- It's a Macro March http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21399/it-s-a-macro-march

- Macro March, week 2, mini theme: thinking about backgrounds http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21532/macro-march-week-2

- Even More Macro March (macro-march3), mini-theme: unexpected macro http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21648/even-more-macro-march-macro-march3

- Macro-March 4, mini-theme: bucket list macro http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21757/macro-march4



Finally, if you missed my Shameless Self-Promotion: cheap eBook discussion, there is still a day left to get my introductory photography eBook, Boost Your Photography: Learn Your DSLR for the low, low price of $1.99 on Amazon.com or 0.99 pounds on Amazon UK. You can read the full One Year Blogoversary post and description here.

Hope you all had fun with Macro March, and I will post a last discussion thread to share calendar views, if you wish, once the month is finished!

@archaeofrog Thanks for organising / hosting this Katie.
I didn't do macro the whole month but I loved the unexpected macro week and incorporated it into my numbers theme. I have ordered myself some close up lenses as I want to do more!
March 29th, 2014
I got my bucket list shot today!
March 29th, 2014
Thank you very much Katie, for the idea and for hosting this. I did not manage everyday as I was away for a few days, but got most days and had fun. This is one of todays shots.
March 29th, 2014
I got a couple bucket list items done :-)
March 29th, 2014
I didn't have a bucket list, I just tried to shoot fun macros! LOL!

I had a great time with macro March. I'm still working on the refractions shot. Haven't got it right yet. I will try again today.
March 29th, 2014
It was fun doing the macro-march theme and fun looking at the other wonderful shots in the theme. Thank you for leading it, Katie.
March 29th, 2014
This was great fun!
March 29th, 2014
Many thanks! I enjoyed the challenge and also seeing everyone's shots. So many wonderful ideas!
March 29th, 2014
After tomorrow, I will post the final "project" I did for March (praying that one of them actually blooms so I have a "result," and thanks so much Katie for your help organizing this month! I'm heading into an "Abstract April" that focuses on structures, buildings, glass and well anything with lines and patterns! I hope others will join me, but year two, I'm just forging away with ideas -- it has been a lot of fun to see the macros everyone is producing this month.
March 29th, 2014
Thank you Katie for hosting. I really enjoyed the entire month exploring my spice cabinet. Looking at the spices at a macro level really helped me see the unique nature of each and the colors / shapes / textures that I have never seen before. I love to cook and love the spices. This month, I gained an ever greater appreciation for them.
March 29th, 2014
thanks Katie xx
March 29th, 2014
Thanks for keeping me posted Katie. I think I forgot to tag half my macros but it was fun to see what other people were putting up. I've been enjoying the shorter challenges after doing about 2 years of month long ones. You're doing a great job though on getting everyone involved!
March 29th, 2014
This was one of my bucket list macros... I decided not to crop as i liked the leaves as well... It {very fleetingly} made it to the trending page...

Thank you @archaeofrog for holding such a great month of challenges xx
March 30th, 2014
I haven't participate every day but I have achieved a bucket list shot!! Thanks so much for your inspiration Katie, it's been lots of fun!
March 30th, 2014
@archaeofrog Thanks for hosting this Katie! I've had a lot of fun participating and reading your theme challenges. Also just grabbed your ebook (which i also realized I was close to buying a week or so ago after randomly stumbling upon it) Can't wait to learn more :)

@archaeofrog
Love your water drops. I knocked it off my bucket list last year :)

Some have already started, so if you want to share a final view of your Macro March calendar (all macro shots not required), go ahead and add it to this discussion!

Thanks for hosting this Katie, it was a fantastic idea and I really enjoyed joining in and seeing everyone's macro shots.
April 1st, 2014
I didn't complete the whole month but here is a collage of photos I did take throughout the month. Thanks for organising Katie, it was lots of fun.

April 1st, 2014
Here's mine! Thanks Katie for hosting, I really enjoyed it :)

April 1st, 2014
@adambralston lol! I feel a few close ups in April coming on?
April 1st, 2014


Here are a few of mine, including some that I took but never posted. Great theme idea, Katie! :)
April 1st, 2014
@darylo This is simply awesome! :) What a great visual.
April 1st, 2014
It has been a very interesting challenge. Some did a super cool job, 31 macros, wow!
Thanks Katie @archaeofrog
April 1st, 2014
@nadaa This is incredible! So much dedication and patience. And the overall effect: just great!
April 1st, 2014
@darylo Daryl, this looks like a beautiful illustration of a prestigious edition of a botanic volume. Great work!!!
April 1st, 2014
I really had fun doing the macro-march theme. I've loved looking at all the other macro shots, too, and am loving seeing the macro collages. Thank you for hosting it, Katie.
April 1st, 2014
I didn't do a collage yesterday because I wanted my coffee shot on its own and I don't have 4 folders so I decided to do my Macro March Collage today. This was a lot of fun. Nothing like doing a whole month of your favorite type of photography, well my favorite anyways lol
April 1st, 2014
I took more than these, but this was the week I challenged myself to focus only on a bouquet of lilies.
April 2nd, 2014
@nadaa Your spices are awesome Nada!!
April 2nd, 2014
@taffy great display, Taffy
Your lilies look so elegant and different. Beautifl collection!
