Many excellent shots in this comp again. Well done one and all. Good job lavanut. When I saw this one I was like o_O.....

I would also like to say that the majority of you have posted near or full sized forum rules on the long side.

You have no idea how much of an impact it makes your photos.

Good game all and lets keep having fun.

I for one can't wait for the next Challenge in Macro.

Congrats, all, some great pics, and I agree that "Light Bulb" was an amazing shot!

And, yes, I was one who forgot to include a title (one of a can opener), but my shot was dwarfed by some of the very cool stuff!

Thanks all. I had fun shooting that. I was amazed at what I saw in the images with that lens and that light bulb. I think I want to try some stacking soon to try to get a little more depth in the images. I did put a dimmer switch on the light to back it down enough to get a good shot without having to resort to ND filters.

Oh, and yes, a new MP-E 65... found a used one at Adorama. Now I just have to learn to use it as it should be used. It's more finicky than the 100mm macro. :)

00hahc, I smiled when I saw your shot since I have oatmeal for breakfast most every weekday morning!

Nice shots again everyone! I love looking at all your images!! The new challenge is up...
Get Creative with Candy
Have some fun with it!

anything to save us from the torture of the old Sears & Roebuck Catalog...or yesterday's newspaper.

NICE shot. I would never have come up with that as the subject.
