I had a pic that's not TOOOO bad, good for me anyway, but changed it to one that isn't so great technically, but should get at least a grin out of some people, though I'm expecting maybe 3's.
It's about getting better and being creative isn't it? Not about who can shoot an elephant going though the eye of a needle?
So am I!! Do I go with what I like or what I think others will like?
No Macro lens here, so prob won't do that great anyway, One I really like doesn't have as much detail I guess, Oh I'll be up all night looking back and forth from one to next!
I don't have a macro lens either. I figure everyone with a macro lens will be taking amazing bug/flower pollen shots and I simply can't go there. So I opted for a closeup instead. I'm really pleased with the outcome - whether it will score well remains to be seen. It's certainly not macro, and I'm guessing the good scores will go to those who can pull in the true macros.
But ya know? I don't really care. I truly LIKE the shot, and that's all that really matters. If I get a couple constructive comments on how to improve for the future, then I'm getting my money's worth here!
I was gonna sit this one out myself, but the serendipity. This morning I go out and sit on my porch and right next to me was a blank blanking a blank...

I have been kindof busy lately and also a bit of blank since none of the last few challenges really appealed to me right away so I haven´t entered anything for over a month now. When I saw the macro challenge last monday I thought "finally something I can participate on without thinking too much about what to enter"
Guess what, the week flew by and I only took the shot a couple of hours ago since I haven´t had time but it´s going to be fun clicking that update button a couple of times an hour for a whole week again even though I probably won´t do very well this time since my shot isn´t all that great...
Took my Macro entry today. This will be my fifth enteration (new word I just invented) in a row. I'm looking forward to seeing the macro entries. The macro challenges are always great fun.
I got a shot that satisfies me but I bet I'll get
(A) too close/far away.
(B) colours too saturated/ or wishy washy
(C) should have been in "Obsolete"
(D) doesn't meet the Challenge
How about a great macro shot of dust on my sensor? That is about as macro as I can get!
Or go the other way, how about dust in the Milky Way?
One of my commenters saw that I shot this with a "macro" lens and asked how I shot the Milky Way with a macro. It's all really a matter of scale, isn't it?
Just finished my macro shot with 3 hours to spare. I had all week but waited until today. Actually it usually takes most of the week to come up with an idea then I shoot it close to the deadline. This one was a
back breaker with all the bending over. Soon I will be watching all those 5's come across with no comments. : )
314 entries already...wow. Member's challenges are really getting big these days! I'm sitting this one out. That's a lot of bug eyes and flower petals and eyeballs and drops of water to look at! ;)
