SCC Monthly Competition: Macro Theme
May 17, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Judge: Mike Greenlar
Statement: What makes a quality image? It has to sing and dance. It has to have harmony. All the moons have to line up. No antlers coming out of heads please. It can be so simple or have all the layers working at the same time. It can make one laugh or cry or cry out in indignation. To quote a friend, “a quality image is the closest thing we have to a time machine.”

Theme: Macro Photography
Macro photography is all about showcasing a subject larger than it is in real life. Macro is different from close-up photography which means shooting the subject from a short distance. Macros can capture details not visible with the naked eye. Macro photography generally requires a 1:1 or higher ratio between the object image that you are photographing and the real object. What this means is that if you are photographing a bee that is 1 inch in size, this bee will appear as 1 inch or greater on your camera’s sensor. If the object image is smaller than the real object, this will then be categorized as close up photography.
