This week the topic is Close ups. I’m looking for you to get close to your subject. You can have macros, but they are not necessary for this challenge. If you can get close to a huge ship and can only take part of it’s hull, that works for me or maybe get up close to your beloved pet. Anything is acceptable, as long as you are close. This is a topic you can really have enjoy. Let’s see how creative you can get. I’m looking forward to what you all decide to post. I just want you to have some fun with your photography.
Upcoming Topics
For a list of upcoming topics, please see the list below. Be creative and challenge yourself. For a great black and white photo look for contrast or highly textured subjects to photograph.

I took a photo of a squirrel while trying to climb on a bench out of fear. They’re weird little things. They race around, jump and who know where they’re going. LOL I like your photo of the squirrel but just the photo. : ) Nice selections, as always, Cee.
Hope you enjoy my entries this week. Happy Thursday …

Hi Cee – couldn’t resist doing something a little different this week. He’s close enough to seize my camera if he so wished 😉 But as you can see he’s an old friend 🙂 Trying out a little bit of experimental processing! https://2e0mca.wordpress.com/2018/05/06/cees-black-white-photo-challenge-close-ups-2/
I love the Dahlia and the Bear – some experimenting going on there too I think? 🙂
