Even More Macro March ( macro-march3 )

March 15th, 2014
Yes, let's keep the Macro March love going! I know many, many of you joined us again this week, and there are now more than 400 photographs from last week, tagged macro-march2. I also know that a lot of us (myself included for awhile, whoops!) just kept using the original macro-march tag, since there are now nearly 1200 photos there too. Whoa! You all are amazing!

To try and keep up with new shots, let's go ahead and update to the tag, macro-march3 for March 15th-21st. If you've already uploaded shots, feel free to edit your tags accordingly.

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 http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21532/macro-march-week-2

Finally, if you want, we are having an optional "mini theme" for each week. Last week's theme was "thinking about backgrounds." This week, let's think about "unexpected macro." If you want, try tearing yourself away from the pretty flowers, buzzy insects, and other traditional macro shots. Try to think of an unusual subject or approach a completely mundane subject in a macro way.

Enjoy! I love seeing what you all come up with!

I went on a search for my close up macro filter (inspired by your article!) and found it hidden in the depths of my gear from 35mm days! I had fun with it today, so may have some shots to post that satisfy the mini-theme!
March 15th, 2014
Thank you Katie.
March 15th, 2014
Thanks Katie -- you're so good at keeping this interesting! Wonderful idea to go for the unusual (said after just taking about 20 photos of some daffy's blooming in a bouquet I bought yesterday).
March 15th, 2014
Great idea, something odd and unexpected. I had fun with my Get Pushed fruit and veggie macros last week. On to unexpected things this week!

March 15th, 2014
@sianipops Will do!
March 15th, 2014
Add me too :)
March 15th, 2014
hmm I did a mundane unsual macro today before reding your post - nice theme!

March 15th, 2014
I did an unusual macro yesterday - nuts and bolts

March 15th, 2014
Awesome thank you. I saw macro-march3 or 2 on peoples photos and didn't know where it was coming from lol
March 15th, 2014
I'll fix this weeks photos with the right tag also.
March 16th, 2014
I have a regular butterfly/flower shot today but I will try for something more interesting. Great suggestion Katie!
March 16th, 2014
I did not read carefully and have tagged mine wrong ....I need to look. But you are saying that each week we change that last number, right? Makes sense!
March 16th, 2014
Love the mini theme this week!
March 16th, 2014
@espyetta I've been tagging mine wrong too!.. or is that 2?
March 16th, 2014
fixed my tags! many of my macros are already not the usual flower stuff though :-)
March 16th, 2014
@m9f9l Ha! 2! I need to fix mine, but I did not do that many macros. I did do my big EYEBALL! haha
March 16th, 2014
@archaeofrog Thank you for doing this, Katie.

Knitting macro! :)

March 17th, 2014
Just thought I'd share this fun one I took a while back. It's a rare bug shot. :)

I'm combining the unexpected macro with my March numbers theme. Here's my first post this week

March 18th, 2014
My second post for the week, so loving this theme combined with my numbers, thanks Katie @archaeofrog

Following Katie's @archaeofrog advice, I'm trying to aaproach mundane subjects in a macro way. here's my drawing pin
March 20th, 2014
And here's an earpod detail
March 20th, 2014
@pamknowler Interesting mundane subjects.Lovely detail and bokeh here.
March 20th, 2014
@mara19500 Wow, I think your drawing pin is stunning!!
March 20th, 2014
@trevjk3 welcome. Stunner of a shot!!!

@bernadette This is fabulous! What a hoot! I bought my first nanoblocks over Spring Break. I haven't worked up the courage to open the package yet, but after I make the "real" models, I'm going to let my Lego Mini-me have a go at them! She needs a hoby too. No reason you should be interested, but I've posted a few photos of her tagged trs-mini-me.

@darylo Thanks Daryl for your comment, fav & follow!

I have SO enjoyed this theme, @archaeofrog . I love macro's anyway but this was a good excuse to shoot them almost every day. Here's one of my latest...
