Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #104

and even been asked to do many times.
That is to allow macro photos from any DSLR camera! in the Macro DSLR Speed Challenge.

This weeks Macro DSLR Speed Challenge topic is "New!"
Show me a macro photo of anything that you interpret as new.

Also I would like to wish all Macro photographers
A Happy New Year!

Thank you John_B. and it will probably be the last time you see a macro of a hair dryer... lol Not the most interesting thing to shoot... to say the least.

Wow, I'm surprised as I liked the spy of the spider Yes, I too would have liked a bigger turn out.

Let me think about what this weeks challenge will be, and see what happens.

New challenge has been posted as "Matches". This is my first challenge post, so if the content or format needs to be changed, please let me know.

I'm hoping to see some really dazzling shots of matches, but realize it's a hard shot to get right - Challenge!

When I did a search for "Matches" and I.E. came back and said "No Matches Found" I knew this would work... lol

davidc502 looks picture perfect
Now I have to find some matches

Congrats, davidc502! Nice photo of a hair dryer.
Nice spidey too, Monty.

Oooo... I get to play with matches again... Those are good macro subjects.
