Other Admins and moderators may have slightly different interpretations or go by different rules of course. One of our Adminis, Cobalt suggests that as long as the largest size uploaded shows the focus area larger than the subject is a good one to keep in mind. ![]() Since we want C&CMP to be a gallery where everyone's best work can be seen and enjoyed, we try to err on the side of inclusiveness when cleaning out the pool. We also have members at all stages of photographic interest and experience in our group. With so many members, so many images submitted daily and so few admins, it would be difficult if not impossible to enforce a true, macro only rule. Unfortunately, like the knowing of most arcane knowledge, it can also sometimes be a purely existential joy. Such technical rigor can be a good thing and rewarding for the knowledgeable and wizardly. Purists will always chafe about this and I can't blame them there are specific and technical definitions for what constitutes a macro photograph. It's true that the definition of macro has become fuzzy because of camera and lens marketing. The learning of the right names for things and their definitions is where the journey often begins. We all begin our photographic journeys somewhere. Here are some comments from the Admins here: Questions about "macro" and "close" images? When CCMP Theme or Challenge threads highlight a contest on a partiular theme, please read the details about posting size and tags within a contest thread. Please take a look at our blog, which highlights our CCMP Theme and Challenge winners - here: If there is any question as to whether or not your suggested topic is appropriate for the discussion threads, please contact one of the Admins. Threads on general topics that are not self-promotion are welcome. Please limit your uploads to 3* per week! Flooding the group pool is frowned upon and will result in photos being deleted. Here is one comment: "the lens is typically optimized to focus sharply on a small area approaching the size of the film frame." Thus, showing a whole animal or most of an animal/person/object/flower may not be a true macro but an image shot with a macro lens. We recommend this article in Wikipedia for a detailed description of "true macro". What makes a true macro? Avoiding the technicalities across sensor and film sizes, for the purposes of this group, "macro" is something that is around 35mm (~1.38in) or smaller that fills the frame. NEW!!! Let's get Closer! This is a dedicated macro photography group and the intention is for you to get closer and closer to your subject. Macro Photography is where the reproduction ratio is from 1:1 to 10:1 - ie from life-size to ten times life-size.Īnd, for the record, Micro Photography is where the reproduction ratio is ~5:1 or greater - ie greater than about 5x life-size. Please note that using a macro lens or the macro mode on a camera may NOT produce an image that is a true macro.Ĭlose-Up Photography is where the reproduction ratio is from 1:10 to 1:2 - ie from 1/10th life-size to one half life-size. Images must be true MACRO or at least VERY close-up images with the majority of the frame showing the focal point in macro. ![]()
