I had decided to leave the pages because it was obviously some confusion between Macro and Micro photography. I don't think anyone intentionally chose Micro on purpose. That's why they haven't been removed. It is also too late now to do something about it. I hope this decision is OK by everyone because I would sure hate everyone mad at me again lol, which is why I quit doing challenges for a while. A forum topic was even created about that challenge. I was just unable to make everyone happy.

If anyone would like to change their page on their own, then you can do so. There is a forum topic about fixing pages without losing comments and votes done by Brenda (DitziB).

Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between Micro & Macro photography? Have no idea if my page is correct! Thanks!

Thanks for your question Mary. I'm going post here even though I responded to your e-mail so everyone has a better understanding. First off my mistake was using Micro. Macro and micro are virtually the same thing other than they are two types of lenses used to produce the same effect. A better explanation of this challenge, which I poorly did is: The difference between using a zoom at a distance versus using a zoom up close. Taking a picture at a distance draws the object closer to you, but you still may not see all the details. Using macro photography...or micro, one gets up close and personal with the object. So instead of taking a picture of a fly up close, you are taking a picture of a fly REALLY close, where you can see all the facets of it's eyes. Does that make sense? It doesn't LITERALLY have to be that close, just really close up. Macro photography is actually quite technical, but quite unnecessary for this challenge.

I love taking macro shots but had a bit of trouble deciding what a non-traditional page would be lol. To some, 'traditional scrapping' is the term used when a digital page still looks like a paper scrap page. That's how I think of 'trad scrappin' lol. So if my pages do not comply, remove them :)

Thanx for explaining the difference between "micro" and "macro" photography. It's always nice if somebody takes the time to help others understanding things better. That's what makes SBF such a nice and friendly site.

Kez...that is exactly what I meant by non-traditional pages...don't make them look like paper scraps. You all are doing great in that department!

Hey Everyone,
I know the dif btw macro and using a telephoto lens. I have closeup lenses that I screw on to my camera to get even closer.
I made my page creative, since Courtney said no traditionals pages. But, looks like my creativity in this challenge was not what people where looking for. LOL I enjoyed making my page, and that is all the counts to me. But, said...I really see pages not using the Macro. So I can relate to the confusion also. I will now speed vote, not to hurt anyone feelings on what I think is what Courtney was looking for. Hugs & Peace!!!
