LandscapeLandscape photography is the art of showing different spaces and uniqueness of the world, predominantly pure nature. Meaning not much sign of manmade affect or humans in general and that mostly the only editing done to these pictures is making them grey scale or black and white, meaning none of the actual imagery is changed, just lack of colour.

Macro

MacroExtreme close-up photography, normally very small subjects, making said small subjects much larger than life size, capturing a lot higher detail than regularly, so people can see the subjects in ways they could never with the naked eye. Not actually being magnified, the subject has a 1:1 ratio with the photo negative, making the subject on the negative the exact same size as it is in real life.
