A strange feeling ... - a photo on Flickriver

... a very strange feeling, as this week's challenge is asking me to do what I do every week ... show what I have shot against a size guide! I've got an album of over 300 shots ... and I've put one, as usual, in the first comment field!
When the debate was first raised (some years ago) I liked the idea of using an old credit card as my guide. It is 3" x2" in size ... and has worked really well to keep my focused on the 3" rule for MM. It is such a good idea to define what we mean by 'macro' and the 3" rule (if followed) is an excellent one! Yes, I have seen an entire banana offered and accepted as 'macro' in another group. And it makes me groan when something like that happens! So well done MM admins for doing this topic .... 😊

For the Macro Monday challenge "My Closest" (January 17th 2022)

A very small 2cm shell balanced on a ruler
And sample establishing shot with size guide is in the first comment field
