Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #3 -
"It's Alive!"


Welcome to the Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #3 "It's Alive!"

The idea here is to take a picture of life. Whether it's the tiny life on an insect or a snippet of bigger being, just make sure it's kicking and screaming.

There's no restriction on what the life form 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 28, 2008. Winner will be announced shortly thereafter.

Sorry, I used the thread start date (Saturday) and went 7 days from there. Has been changed, and I guess almost time for a winner to be drawn.

Well, it would seem this quiet competition week has come to and end. so, the winners are:

3rd place:
Flo - You got a really nice textured effect on what looks to be some sort of reptile (I think). Great shot!

2nd place: Mikerault - Lovely dragonfly capture mate! Seems like he ran into some trouble too.

1st place: John_B - Have no idea where that eye would come from, my guess would have to be something along the lines of a snail. Very nice capture, with some really good detail too!

Genodm, I haven't forgotten you, you caught a lot of detail in the kitty, and got some nice vibrant colours. However, I felt the crop to be a little odd, I think it would've worked a lot better if you had a mug shot of it.

Thanks for the submissions all, can't wait to see what the next challenge is!

P.
