Look it up, Macro (from Greek prefix "makros-" meaning "large"). Most sciences or areas of study use this prefix as defined. Macroeconomics, for example: "dealing with the behavior of the whole economy". Microeconomics: "study of the behavior of small economic units, such as that of individual consumers, opposite of macroeconomics". So what happened with Photography? Commonly, photographers call images of things small and extreme closeups, Macro Photography. What then is Microphotography? Interestingly, Nikon uses the term Micro for it's close focusing lenses, but not Canon. So, even the manufacturers don't agree.
Microphotography reveals a world unseen by the naked eye. It often exposes patterns and designs that create sublime abstract images. Macrophotography gathers a view often larger and grander than can be gathered with the human eye. Both introduce distortions either through lens characteristics or stitching construction techniques that are creative tools used to produce these distinctive images.
Juror's Statement: I was delighted to see so many genuinely interesting images. I have always thought that seeing the world through a camera (in whatever form that takes) makes us all stop for a moment and take a hard look at what surrounds us. And further, making images up close and personal creates yet another realm. However, creating macro images adds additional challenges (like depth of field) which can get in the way of making a truly wonderfully composed image. Experienced photographers pay attention to those challenges and I am happy to have seen so many fine submissions. Thank you all for your submissions. It was a truly educational and joyful experience to have seen them all. Every single one. Felice Frankel |
