Hey everyone! I’m super excited to kick off my first photo contest here on MR! This week, we’re diving into the world of macro photography. So, grab your macro lens (or if you’re using an iPhone, the 1x or 24mm lens), and get up close to capture the amazing details and shapes of something anywhere in the world!

Can be any subject or entity including plants, animals, fruit, textures on the ground or the walls, and even more!

You can really get in there and snap textures and tiny details at super high levels of magnification! Check out these resources and examples below for some inspiration 👇!
