WC Darkroom Topic Challenge (C&C’s encouraged but not required)
Topic : Close Ups
Quote by Robert Capa “If your photos are not good enough you are not close enough”The topics for the next two weeks in both the Shutterbug Pub Forum and here are inspired by Quotes about photography. I have included several examples from our members to demonstrate the quote by Robert Capa. In advance I would like to thank Natalie, Dave and Randall whose photos I X-posted from previous uploads.
This Challenge will end March 19, 2018
Guidelines:
1) All photos submitted must be yours.
2) All entries are to be posted directly by each member into this thread in the DARKROOM.
3) You may post more than one image, however, please submit only one photo per post.
4) We hope that his activity inspires you to shoot new images and not just pull from your archives. However, images from your archives WILL be allowed as long as your image has NOT been previously posted on Wet Canvas.
5) You may use software to manipulate or enhance your images.
6) Since this activity is running in the Darkroom Forum, Comments and Critiques are allowed and encouraged but not mandatory. Anyone, regardless of experience, can offer his/her reaction to a photo, because most of those posting in the Darkroom would appreciate your C&C.
7) Please keep comments and critiques constructive.
8) Every other Sunday, a new topic challenge will begin.Photography is the art of observation. It has little to to with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. Elliott Erwitt

I’ve been waiting for a chance to post this grasshopper I spied on a brick wall at a rest area last September.

Earlene
Lorell, your two shots are excellent! Great details! Love the bokeh in the plant one….Nice selective focus!
Earlene, it’s hard to get closeups of these, as they tend to quickly hide from me, you did a good job! Nice contrast of green against the brick!!Okay, I will give this a try……nothing too exciting…but definitely closer….
Natalie
Great closeups, Lorell, Earlene, and Natalie.
OK, I’ll add one. Not my best work ever but I was drawn by the rich colors of this rose. Besides, I’ve never met a macro I didn’t like.
(D7500 in RAW, inital processing in camera RAW and final done in PSCS5.)
Thanks Natalie – yes this rose (one of many so well nurtured by my friend and neighbor Ron) has appealing colors.
I couldn’t get any closer and keep focus…
Loving the Rose and rusted washer, Dave. Natalie, the rusted chain is quite interesting with the effects of the elements on the chain as well as the wood behind the chain. Maryinasia, seeing the reflection of the camera and your fingers in your eye is slightly eerie. But if I focus on the light highlights instead, it’s really an interesting shape that emerges.
On Kaua’i, there are loads of wild roosters, well not only roosters, hens, too. They are everywhere. You can’t drive down a street without seeing a few, sometimes dozens. They walk along the sides of the roads, highways, city streets, fields, gardens, state parks, along rivers and streams, crossing roads, walking on grass, mingling with horses, cattle, pigs, other fowl, and of course people. This guy happily poses for photos, but just this morning, another who looked just like him, escorted our party on the path for at least a mile. Guess he thought we’d feed him if he showed us the way.
