While speaking with Klas, he had the idea to propose a permanent gallery for the macros or closed-up. I think it is a brilliant idea. We have a great number of members taking this kind of photos and excellent examples disseminated in many galleries...

Caedes: please... ;-)

Is this instead of the oft proposed mushroom gallery?

Yes!

I think its a good idea also. Have it be its own gallery? Or a subgallery?

I think a subgallery in photography gallery. Close-up are a part of photos art...

yes i like that idea : ) i'm in for it

Sounds like an excellent idea. Maybe post this discussion to the dev forum?

Sounds good

Execellent idea, agree with Pierre.

Great idea.

Yay!

i just took a look at the photogallary... will i was wondering if its possible to be able to search only one part of the galary rather than just clicking on photo and then navigating. I have a really slow internet service and would make things easier... haha who knows maybe im just lazy

I have moved a few images from the "Nature" gallery into the "Macro" gallery... it was quite difficult to decide what qualified as "Macro" and what was just a close up, so I have left quite a few that can probably be moved. But you will be glad to know that all the shroom pics are in there... :-)

Wonderful! :D Thanks caedes for making a new gallery for macro shots. It's a rather large quantity of my shots that are either macro or close-ups. It's a delicate question to decide whether a photo is just close-up or macro... Tricky.

I also moved many images from the 'nature' gallery into the 'macro' gallery.
Say me if I had a good judgement...
Klas asked me to move two of his pictures, named 'Limelight on Media' & 'Reflections on Media'. But can we mix images 'nature>macro (or close-up)' with images 'other>macro'?
What do you think?

I guess what you need to decide is when you go to the macro gallery, what are you going there expecting to see? For me it would be nature pics, but I never considered that other images might go there.

OK I had a look... you certainly have been busy! I don't agree with every choice but the majority are pics that I also considered moving. Also I don't have a macro lens, so maybe your judgement is better than mine.

I just thought it was more of a gallery standing on it's own. And not being a subgallery just to the nature gallery. Macro is more a technique of how to shoot than the choice of subject I think. It's a whole another matter if the images I was referring to is close enough to be considered a macro shot. I can't go any closer with my camera in macro mode though...

Yes. You're right Klas. It's not a subgallery of the 'nature' gallery.
But for me, it's a 'macro & close-up' gallery. Right?
If you agree, we can put there all macro & close-up, nature or not... :-)

I think that's prbably the best way to do it. :) Thanks for the great work on this one. I'm going to enjoy to go throught the whole gallery in the near future. :D

wicked : D fast results indeed. looks good the new gallery...

Yes Pierre, you had a good judgement.It's very difficult to make the choice by upload.

I think you should consider any close-up, for example a telephoto shot of a leaf set at an extremely narrow depth of field, to be included in this gallery. Also, manipulations and renderings that could be considered as "close up" in the macro sense.
