September 2026 : Close-up and Macro


Close-up and Macro
The definition of a Close-up shot is a camera shot that captures a person or object in a tight, close-range frame. It shows more detail than something like a full shot, medium shot, or wide shot, and is achieved by placing the camera close to the subject or by using a longer camera lens. 
Macro Photography is all about showcasing a subject larger than it is in real life — an extreme close-up of something small. A full-frame insect in a five-by-seven-inch photo and a four-inch product shot of a cornflake go well above life-size: both are examples of macro photography.

October 2026 : Abstract Landscapes


Abstract Landscapes
Abstract landscapes an exercise in composition for the sake of art. The real identity of the abstractionist's subject is not important and the result is not intended to be anything. Abstract images are conceived or imagined outside of ‘reality’. They can encompass a huge variety of subject matter, take us out of our comfort zone, make us question what we see, or invite us to enter another realm. In abstract photography, often there aren’t the usual frames of reference for the viewer; they’re not looking at anything immediately recognisable or discernible. This lack of context in which to evaluate an image is one of the reasons why abstract photography can be so challenging and equally enthralling! The subject matter is often implied or suggested rather than overtly and literally presented.
