Macro SIG - Subject: Macro SIG project
Hi Folks,
The omicron pandemic has made getting together for an indoor macro outing undesirable. There has not been a Macro SIG Outing included in the member submissions presentation in sometime. I thought it would be fun to get back to taking macro photographs as a SIG project. The January to February Macro SIG project is macro photography of items found in your kitchen. Suggestions for items to photograph are: utensils, various foods and possibly the contents of containers that were lost in the refrigerator, :-). There are a wide range of kitchens items to photograph.These subjects maybe enhanced by different colored lighting, e.g., adding color by using speedlites / strobes with gels.
These links have fun examples of macro photograph of utensils.

Just like Macro SIG outings, all club members are welcome to join in the fun.
Please send me up to 10 of your favorite “kitchen items” photographs by February 28. I will organize your submissions into a presentation for the club. Sharing of your submissions with the club may be at a club online meeting or at a separate online meeting as we have done in the past.
I am looking forward to receiving your submissions to this project.
