3. CLOSE-UP
Close-up. A picture taken with the subject close to the camera. The classic close- up is about getting detail. That usually means getting right into the subject. Close up photography is the act of photographing objects such as flowers or insects in close range so the subject you are photographing fills the frame.

5. STILL LIFE/FOUND OBJECT
Images in this category may depict mostly inanimate subject matter. They are typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, plants, rocks, shells, etc.) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, and so on). Still life often suggests an arrangement of objects by the photographer but this category also includes the more spontaneous discovery of everyday objects in their given environment.
