Thanks to Joanne @gardencat for hosting the previous macro challenge and to all who entered. I am hosting the new challenge.
The theme for this round will be motion. Whether you want to freeze something that’s moving or include some intentional blur is up to you, but get in close and take a photo that represents the topic of “motion.”
Although it’s not required, please consider posting your entries on this thread to bump the challenge back to the top of the “Themes & Competitions” list.
The challenge starts on July 17 and will end on July 31. Entries must be taken and posted within those dates.
Previous topics: candy, knobs, buttons, cutlery, wood, eye, jewelry, stationery, fruit or fruits, water drops, St. Patrick’s Day, feathers, food, rust, leaf, herb/spice, money, tools, shells, toys, textures, bubbles, bugs, flowers, seeds
I am eager to see your macros of motion. Have fun!
@marcy0414 Looks great fun - I won't have access to my proper camera for most of that time though, so I won't this time. But thanks for thinking of me - another time! I will be interested to see other people's pictures for it.
" Second Hand Time" is my effort, I had to think outside the box to capture movement on a macro image, its a great idea for the challenge Marcy @marcy0414
This challenge has indeed been proving quite a challenging for me. I had thought of entering this but, on consideration, I think it is not really a 'macro' shot. Oh well, a couple of days left to see if I can get something.
@gardencat I'm certainly no expert, but I participate in a Flickr group that has a maximum size of 3 inches (7.6 cm) to be considered a macro. I don't know if there's a certain expectation here. Anyone? Feel free to enter it if you consider it a macro. Thanks!
@marcy0414 I'm not an expert either but my general feeling is that the subject should be larger than life size and I don't think the butterflies in this shot actually are larger than they'd be in life.
Might be interesting to get the opinion of someone who is more expert in this feel.
@gardencat I like your definition and would also like to hear what others think. As far as "rules" go, though, I think everyone is pretty easy going on this site from what I've seen :)
Well, I think this shot is more of a macro but not at all sure it conveys motion but the end approaches so this is my best attempt. I've discovered that capturing motion in a macro is a true challenge, for me at least.
