As per usual, refer to the rules post before entering, if it's your first time or you're unsure of the rules.

You have a week to get your entries in. After that voting will commence. If there are more than 10 entries, then the entries will be split accordingly, and the winner/s from each group will go through for final voting.

Have fun!

Went for a Dimage Z1. http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0000BYODE.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg
Spent most of yesterday afternoon in Jessops playing with a few cameras and ended up torn between that and the Fuji S5000. Was impressed by both, but the price tags swayed me a bit. And the staff in Jessops were really helpful and let me have a pretty decent play with them, which kinda made me feel guilty when I lied saying I might come back. They must know you can get stuff cheaper if you shop around a bit online.

I've been playing with the macro on my new camera, and came up with this. If you were an ant crawling on my plant you might see something a little bit like this!

I think the problem ET is that people feel intimidated by this challenge as most don't have fancy macro lenses and the like, I mean it is a good challenge just isn't very user friendly.

Going to have a go once everyone has buggered off to bed. :)

Nice pic fick!

I see your point katox, but it was the most popular challenge, so people must have chosen it for a reason...

I know I know ET. Maybe they were just hoping to see some other people's pics of the subject because it sounded interesting. Who knows?? :)
