The purpose of these challenges is to encourage us to get out and get the best shot of an assigned subject. It's a great way to enhance your photography skills.
Even if you think you take crappy pictures, please join in. Those of you just reading the forum and not posting, this is your chance to join in and show off.

This month's challenge: "Close Encounters" - Macro Photography

keys on an old typewriter

Only rules:
It has to be taken by you.
It has to be taken in Upstate NY.


A winner will be selected based on the following criteria:
-freshness (have we seen it somewhere before or did you take it just for this challenge? - we prefer the latter!)
-frame
-subject
-creativity
-use of color (or lack thereof)
-uniqueness

Finally I can use my "new" 35mm macro

Is it lack of equipment, Kyle? Or lack of interest? If it's the former, I will bring you a camera on Saturday that will do great macro shots. Borrow it for as long as you like.

I actually have a feeling it might be the same camera model that you sold to get your Pentax. And if it is, perhaps we could work something out so it can be yours.

The former. Wow, that would be incredibly nice of you! Perhaps, if its on the market...we could work something out indeed.

So are we a lock for Saturday? Weather looks nice.

Kyle, you can also get a very cheap extension tube on ebay for your kit lens (you have the kit, right?), which would make it focus close for macro.

I'm nice one day a month. You picked the right day to whine.
