Flickr Forum - May 2, 2008 - MACRO

photo theme macro blogto flickr forum

The blogTO Flickr Forum is a weekly sampling of themed photographs taken by Torontonians and aims to not only feature the talent they possess, but also spur dialogue and reveal the stories behind the images.

Today's collection of Toronto photographs is made up of responses to our call for photos that fit the theme "MACRO". These images were all recently submitted to the blogTO Flickr pool.

To the photographers: we'd love to hear about your photos. A little info on where it was taken and the story behind the photo is always a great start.

To the rest of you, feel free to ask questions to the artists, submit photos to the blogTO Flickr pool for next week's consideration, or just sit back and enjoy our weekly mosaic.

Continue for links to larger versions, and to check out the next theme.

1. M&Ms with a fiddy M., 2. New Growth, 3. Ignition

4. Chocolate ones are the best, 5. Lost Lady Bug, 6. athlon

7. A Fine Balance, 8. Sniff!, 9. Stop Procrastinating

The next theme is "UP", and as always, is open to creative interpretation. Looking up, going up, pointing up, feeling up, drinking up, uptown... it's open up season. We're looking forward to featuring some of your images again, on May 9th.

To be considered for next week's selections:
- In Flickr, add the tag "UP"
- Add to the blogTO Flickr pool
- If you have a photo already in the pool, and you would like it to be considered, remove the photo from the pool and re-add it. Only photos added in the past week will be considered.

If you have a theme suggestion, feel free to leave a comment.

Ooh, excellent. I always like a good macro.

Theme: nostalgic? I haven't been keeping track of previous themes...

Thanks so much for the feature; macro is one of my favourites :~ )
A Fine Balance is a shot of the buds of my orchid plant. It took just over a year to bloom for the second time, but it was definitely worth the wait. Four months later I still have buds on it. The backdrop is my livingroom wall.

Thank you for including "Lost Lady Bug". She was found on my apartment balcony's railing at dusk one night. The shot was taken with a 50mm f1.8.
