Theme of the Week: Macro on Black

Theme of the Week: Macro on Black (or so...)

Although some macro lighting purists may consider it poor form to underexpose the background, others use it as tool to further isolate their subject. This week we were looking for macro images where the intent was to meter or light the subject while leaving the background dark. Absolute black was not required, just good separation.

My pick for the top three are:

-- from Rune T
