The Challenge for the next two weeks is to make a post about close-ups or macros. It is not just about photography, so please note we welcome stories and writing based on the prompt, as well. Perhaps you have had a close-encounter and wish to write about it?

  • Title and tag your post Friendly Friday to join in with this week’s Friendly Friday Challenge prompt. Find more instructions on the link in the header image.

Our theme is:

Close – Up and Macro

Even a weed can be aesthetic, in macro?

Snap some vegetables or an insect in your local garden or park?

Photography Tips for Macro Shots

According to a bright spot, who posts amazing photos, including an amazing in camera double exposure of a pink daisy:

Bright sun is often not the ideal conditions for getting colour and detail of flowers UNLESS you underexpose, to get a black background and make the colours ‘pop’.

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word. Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, I enjoy photography and craft, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

  4. Beautiful photos! This looks like a fun challenge and a great reason for me to pull out my camera that’s been tucked away for the past few years. I’m making it a goal to post a Friendly Friday post this week.

    1. Thank you for joining in the challenge and I would go check out your entry but the URL you posted doesn’t lead to your blog. Can you post the URL of your blog post itself?

  20. I am so envious when I see beautiful macros, like on your post right here. I have been practicing …. with my iPhone. And I realise what my challenge is: I can’t always see very well (transitioning eyesight – bleuch!) and when I do, my closeups always turn up more successful than not. I know, I know, very obvious, but it took me a while. 🤣
