Macro and General Photography tips and Tutorials

This box is all about the Macro and Close-up photography part of dA

I got a request from a fellow member of ours rlz01
He wish for us to hold some activities about techniques when it comes to photograph, sadly I don’t have time for setting anything like that up in the chatroom at the moment so I went for a huge hunt after  tutorial, blog entry’s, journals and everything around that.

I have found thing and I have split then up into these categories: Macro and/or Close-up and General Photography, I have also found some good things about Macro Lenses and other things worth looking at so here it goes.

Enjoy your reading

The Macro photography Gallery have gotten a new GM and she was kind enough to contact the staffs of every macro/close-up photography group/club.
I myself are most impressed but such an gesture and also very thrilled about the new GM and to see what she got in her sleeve for us

She is also the one that will handle DD suggestions for just Macro and close-up photography so if you have an idea for a good DD or just wonder something about it turn your head to impressionenmeer to get help, don’t note her at once, she will have a lot to do as it is. Though take your time reading her journal, it’s very well written.
