RE: Fly My Uglies! - Macro Insect Photography With Off-Camera Flash
I think it might be too late, but the steemitphotochallenge this week was macro. If you have time, enter these in! All you have to do is put the tag in your post. Love the bugs, great shots!
Hey @queenmountain. I'm on the judging panel this week so can't enter. Thanks for thinking of me though!
Ah, I see. I entered in a few things, but I take photos with my phone so I don't think I can compete with the pro cameras/photographers. Just curious, what is the criteria for judging? Do people taking photos with phones stand a chance? I have a Galaxy S7 which takes great photos but pales in comparison.
Jam states in the details that you can mention the medium/gear used, as it might make the photo that bit more impressive. However, cell phones have amazing cameras these days so we would still expect great photos.
Personally, I'm looking for what I believe make a good picture, regardless of the camera, such as composition, simplicity, visual impact, focus, uniqueness, colour, lighting.
The judging involves a lot of discussion. I imagine this week I'll have extra sway, but ultimately the decision lies with Jam. Best of luck.
