Group Info

This is a group for all close up & portrait photographers, as i understand all photographers are different so its my personal opinion that almost any macro shot submitted will be accepted along with portrait pictures.
BUT!!!

By macro photography i mean any photo that makes things look closer than 10 inches or the equivalent to that measure in other countries.

Portrait photography is any creative picture of someone. now i will be very clear with this any picture concerning very sexual themes WILL be rejected no exceptions. Nudity is ok along as the photo IS labeled with a mature content warning and it does not concern sexual themes, The judgement on that will be left up to the admin currently reviewing the picture.

Also concerning our gallery, please place your pictures in the proper folders (there are only 3 as of currently if more are needed they will be added) the folders are currently labled:
Featured
Macro
Portraits

me thinks that's self explanatory lol but other than that please submit your artwork and enjoy the submissions of others

If you have any questions feel free to contact :iconhayes-designs:

P.S.
remember weekly contests are held every week and the theme for each week will be announced on tuesday/wednesday of each week

Thank you for affiliating with #Skies-and-Seasons! :thanks:
We're a fairly new group and would really appreciate some promoting. If you could maybe just mention us in your next blog that would be wonderful, and we will of course always do the same for you in return if you ever have a contest or any other event you would like advertising :)
Thank you again! ^^

Maybe you should define "close-up" in the "about us" section....

I see pictures passing by which are not close-ups imho..... :)

i see a very valid point but then again my definition of close up could very well be much different from your. i really only chose that name because my focus is macro photography.not to mention not all portrait pictures are close-up exactly, i mean for the most part i'm just looking for good photos. i still approve some shots that aren't close up per-say because i believe that they are very good and they should be shown off ^^ if i feel that they dont follow the "theme" of the group i decline it lol which i havent had much of a problem with BUT!!! you totally do have a point ^^ so im going to take your advice and set i guess you would say a tighter boundary line on what will be accepted :)

Macro and close-up are not the same, at least that is my opinion.... a face-shot is a close-up, but a full body shot isn't. But then again: other people might feel different about that....

A piece of an eye is a macro. Because that can be on your sensor/filmframe life-size or larger, 1:1 or more.
Here's wiki's interpretation of macro: [link], which is quite interesting!

It is your group, so you are free to put it as you wish! But i think it would be good to set some boundaries. :)
You could also make some folders with different defenitions....

well i thank you very much for your input ^^ and honestly im still figuring out how to manage permissions and such (which i think i got down ^^) but like said, everyone has different definitions on what each type of photography is, i find it very interesting to hear what other peoples view on specific types of photography is ^^ and i also fixed the folder situation lol
