Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #2 -
"In Tight!"


Welcome to the Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #2 "In Tight!"

The idea is to take a picture in so close that the subject cannot be easily identified at first glance. Your title shouldn't identify what the object is but you should include a description with your EXIF data.

There's no restriction on what the object is but it must be within POTN guidelines.

Good Luck! Be creative and have fun.

Standard Rules apply:
Photo Submissions:


1. Camera - Any Canon DSLR camera
2. Lens - Any lens, or attachment that can give Macro photos (ex. extension tubes, bellows, macro filters, reverse mounted lens and of course a true macro lens.).
3. Time - any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered.
4. Size - Please see the Image posting rules.
5. Post-Processing - do whatever you like and the host will decide if it works.
6. Posting -
* ONE MACRO PHOTO per photographer in each challenge.
* Photo Name/Title in the message.
* Camera model & lens used in the message.
* Post brief Exif data including ISO, shutter speed and aperture used in the message.
* Notes - anything you feel you need to explain.
7. Commenting - No commenting during challenge. When the posting is closed and a winner has been declared, comments can be made in this thread.
8. Questions - Use PM
9. Have FUN! :smile:

One challenge every week, on the following schedule:

* New Topic - After winner is declared.
* Posting Starts - Right after topic is announced.
* Posting Ends - 8:00am PST (Pacific) Friday, November 21, 2008. Winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
* Winner from this competition decides the theme of the next one (and judges it for a winner) after this competition is closed.

First off, let me tell you that I have no idea of what any of these photos were of (except for Bill's) so you all met that criteria! :) Please post a larger version or let us know what the photo was of.

Now, for the winners:

Third Place: Flo - I know you were up against some dedicated macro equipment here but you did a great job!

Second Place: John_B - Great colour, sharpness and subject. Looks like it's even growing an eye. :)

First Place: S7000 - Great use of DOF and bokeh. Two of my favourite things. Add in the B&W (even if it's just the regular colour of the object) and you've hit my third fave. I can hardly wait to see what you come up with for Challenge #3.

Great entries everyone! Make sure to get your buddies involved in the third challenge.
