Peach

My get pushed partner @homeschoolmom challenged me to take a macro. I do not have a macro lens. So I used my close up lens to capture this peach and hope it qualifies. Macro is one of those things that confuse me when is it a close up and when is it macro. Has something to do with the size of the object in the picture compared to the size of the object. Best I can do.

Makes my mouth water!

@homeschoolmom forgot to tell you I did your challenge.

@joansmor To me, this is a macro. There are those super macro shots that sometimes are called micro. Makes me hungry. I love peaches.

I love how you see all the shadings on the peach's skin. Lovely.

[Islandgirl]

Lovely on black!

[Linda Plummer]

Fresh peaches. mmmmmm Great shot.

[Rachel]

This looks lovely against the dark background.

[Jane Pittenger]

@paul10 My stove top is black and I have a light in the overhead fan. You use what you have.

[Leana Niemand]

What a great shot Joan, a big fav!

[Jocasta]

Great against the dark background.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice light and detail

[Richard Sayer]

Nice shot... and FWIW, true macro photography is when the image on the sensor (or film of course) is life size, I.e. when the reproduction ratio is 1:1. This sort of close-up image is more properly called proxi-photo.

Nice one, looks like a giant "blood moon" on the black background :-)

Nicely done

[Jerome]

Great shot and beautiful colors!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Defining macro can depend on who's defining it! But I think this passes the test. Nicely done!

Nice.
