May 21st - Review - Topic Closeup
Close-up: Close-up photography sounds exactly like what it is, a closer-in photographic examination of a subject. It does NOT have to be true "macro" photography where images are supposed to be life-sized, just close-up detailed shots of whatever you find interesting.
Did you know:
This is non-vintage, so images must have been taken in the past 12 months. Be sure to check your EXIF data to ensure the picture was taken in the last 12 months.
