Are you ready for another macro challenge? There are no excuses for not being able to find a subject this week, since everyone has one of these. This week, we are going to do a macro of the human body.

The eye is a good candidate for macro images. But don’t limit yourself to just the eye.
“[.]” by Dario Cogliati
Macro images of the body can take on a wonderful abstract quality. Rendering the image in black and white can help to emphasize the abstract quality of the image, removing the familiar skin tone from the image.

Take your time this week and experiment with angles, light, and focus. See what kind of interesting images you can produce, then show us your best one.

As a reminder: Macro photography is a type of close-up photography. Generally it means that the image on the sensor is life-size or greater. If you have a macro lens or a camera with a macro setting, you can use that. If you have a mid-range focal length lens, such as a 50mm, you can make a “poor man’s macro” by flipping it around and holding it against the camera body. Focus is achieved by moving the entire assembly close to the subject. If you are using a smartphone, the camera might have a macro focus option, or you can use something like an Olloclip macro lens. If you don’t have any macro lens options, just go for a close up image, and do what you can. Remember, photochallenge is about learning new stuff and having fun!

The rules are pretty simple:
- Post one original photograph (Your Image) shot each week per theme posted on this blog to Google+, Facebook, or Flickr (or all three). Tag the photo #photochallenge.org or #photochallenge2015.
- The shot should be a new shot you took for the current weekly theme, not something from your back catalog or someone else’s image.
- The posted image should be a photograph, not a video.
- Don’t leave home without your camera. Participating in the 2015 Photo Challenge is fun and easy.
