Winner and Finalists of Assignment 37 - Macro

Macro photography means to record a subject at life size on the negative or sensor. That means that the image on the negative is the same size as the subject in real life. In common usage, however, macro photography simply means an extreme close up image.

Our macro assignment had our photographers looking for anything that might be ready for a close-up, a VERY close-up. From water to bugs to straws, our photographers showed us the smaller side of the world.

The winner for Photography Assignment 37 - Marcro is Melissa Marshall!
