Macro/Micro: Photographic Extremes
CALLING FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE May 2nd 2012 Midnight EST
Juror: Felice Frankel
This exhibit is about two photographic extremes, regardless
of what you call them: Micro Photography (AKA Macro Photography) and
Macrophotography (AKA Wide Angle Photography) we want to see your best work using
these photographic tools. ShareThis
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.
