Weekly challenge 10/10 - 10/16 It’s fall about macro!

SquarePeg · Oct 10, 2020

For this week’s challenge, post macro photos (or close up if you don’t have a macro lens) with a fall theme. The fall theme can be based on subject or color - or some other clever association. Be creative and try something new.

As always, new photos only for the weekly challenge please. Get out there and shoot!

This challenge should spark a lot of interest. I see tons of macro photography here. I'll have to pass as I don't have the capability unless I just post a close focus shot w/ a standard lens.

Or Michael, get as close as you can with what you've got, then crop in tighter. Cameras these days have great resolution and we can crop quite tightly without losing significant image quality.
