WELCOME...
Lovers, amateurs and professionals of photography. We are pleased to announce our weekly contests that start every Monday and last for 6 days, enough time for those who wish to join and participate. A contest that will have many themes and will include photographers from all fields and styles.
Our intention as a community is to appreciate and interact through the works shared and reward three (3) winners who have the best performance in relation to the photograph itself, taking as a reference the quality of the image, good composition, adequate lighting, good focus. Be creative! Be original!
We will have 8 contests, 8 themes (1 per week).
We will award 3 places and we will not distinguish between professional and amateur photographers.
| 1st Place | 2nd Place | 3rd Place |
|---|---|---|
| 10 HIVE | 6 HIVE | 4 HIVE |
Also... we have the support of @sagarkothari88 who will be powering up (HP) into the accounts of the participants in these contests.
Theme: Macro - Close-Up Photography
For Macro - Close-Up photography lovers, our next contest is dedicated to it. We know that many users share this type of photos in our community and beyond! This type of photo is interesting because it allows us to appreciate from another perspective what we can't or can't see with the naked eye.
You can share Macro and Close-Up photos, capturing objects, flowers, animals, details and a long etcetera. We took the time to make a comparison to explain what each one means and what are their differences.
**LET'S TALK A LITTLE ABOUT MACRO AND CLOSE-UP**
These lines are addressed to those who have any doubts about the characteristics of **MACRO** and **CLOSE-U**P photography. The intention is to make it as simple as possible to understand, so we will try to leave aside excessively complex technicalities.
1) A **MACRO** photograph implies that the subject (or the photographed part of it) is smaller or equal to the diameter of the lens with which the photo is taken... In simple words: "it has to be very small".
2) In a **MACRO** photograph the main subject or motif appears to be the same size or larger than the size of the sensor or film with which the photo was taken.
3) **MACRO** photography usually requires specialized MACRO lenses or close-up lenses to be attached to other types of lenses. Other techniques such as the use of extension tubes and lens inversion are also valid and can yield interesting results.
4) A **CLOSE-UP** photograph is simply one that is taken by shooting as close as possible to the subject, which is usually relatively small.
5) **CLOSE-UP** photographs can be taken with any lens, basically it is a matter of focusing on the subject as close as our available optics allow.
