New Macro Challenge : Macro-photography in the Outdoors

[Etienne]

Thank you to Wendy @farmreporter for hosting the previous edition of the Macro Challenge. Her selection of the sharp focus theme was an outstanding choice and it has been a great opportunity to learn a different macro-photography technique.

The theme of this new edition of the Macro Challenge will be Macro-photography in the Outdoors.

As Louise @roachling is already proposing the 30 Days Wild theme during the whole month of June ( https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/46623/30-days-wild-2022 ), you could combine both activities and use the Macro Challenge as an extra opportunity to spend a bit more time in nature every day. Making macro-shots forces us to look at things a bit differently, and to pay attention to some beauty of nature that we might overlook otherwise.

Challenge start date (backdated): Saturday May 28th

Challenge end date : Thursday June 30th

Tag : macro-outdoors

Hello Wendy, thanks for the reminder. I apologize for the delay but I have been travelling in the latest days, not in good conditions for doing a proper job. I should be able to launch the voting session before the end of the week. Etienne
