Weekly Photography Assignment: Macro Photography
Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to force yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.
Week 149: Macro Photography
Our theme this week is Macro Photography and we’d love to see what close up images you can create using nature around you! Will you use a macro lens to capture the details of autumn leaves? Or focus on the face of an insect in your garden? Perhaps you will capture the tiny water droplets on spiderwebs after the rain? The options are endless, and we can’t wait to see what tiny parts of nature you help bring into focus this week.
Here are some tutorials to help you:
