Closer and Closer Macro Photography: June 2006

The of the Week: Hair, Fur and Fringes (Nature)

The theme of the week is Hair, Fur and Fringes (Nature). The macro shots will be showing little tiny hairs, close views of hair or fur, or even the fringes found on plants, grasses, and trees. Images can be of flora, fauna, or other tiny haired details of nature, but the main subject of the photo should be small details.

Our three winners: the first is a "classic" macro image, the next is pure art in composition, and the final shows a "twofer" with tiny hairs on the plant and the insect. Congratulations to these folks, and many thanks to all who have participated.

Theme of the Week: Fat Colors

This week's theme is Fat Colors. Saturated, bright, gloriously intense colors. The ones that are right out of your first box of 8 crayons and that drip straight from the tube of paint. The ones that make your socks roll up and down and that you can almost *taste*.
