GUARDIAN Camera Club members have been digging out their best close up shots for our latest photography theme.
Macro photography was on the cards this week – described as extreme close-up photography in which the size of the subject in the photograph is 'greater than life size'.
Take a look through the gallery above.
If you would like to take part in our weekly photography challenges or perhaps just share your own pictures with like-minded people, visit facebook.com/groups/guardiancameraclub.
Look out for a selection of images in our newspapers every week too!
