This one was meant to be for the 'element' challenge but I missed the deadline but figured it would work here too!

there's a house on my road that has it's lights up since the middle of October :eek: It must be one of the most decorated houses in the country, I'll go take a pic of it later and stick it in the random thread. I'm quite confident I won't need a tripod it's so bright

I had this taken before Pacha put their photo up , mine doesn't look so up close now

dudara · 30-11-2009 11:39pm

Close up of the lights on Henry Street - handheld, so not very sharp

nice D.O.F (depth of flange)

KarmaGarda · 02-12-2009 11:04pm

Might as well get a bug in here. This little bugger was walking around our flat today.

He's about 3-5mm long. Used a reverse lens macro to get this.

Promac · 02-12-2009 11:48pm

No PP, just resizing.

Is that a magot coming out of a spider?

Too 'shiver up the spin' for me to look at it properly, so it might be the best photo in the world and I'll never know.

This thread is going down fast, coupling, willys, flange... oh dear.

Promac · 06-12-2009 12:00pm

This was taken in october so it doesn't qualify for the challenge but I thought it would fit the theme.

homerun_homer · 08-12-2009 4:13pm

The guitar needs more flange effect if it's going to stand a chance of winning:rolleyes:

pullandbang · 08-12-2009 4:22pm

Regardless of who wins this challenge I think katiemaloe should win a prize for the most thanked comment. (dof)

Her prize should be a "portrait" session with pete4130 and the results to be posted here!

katiemaloe · 08-12-2009 6:52pm

Lol! What an amazing idea pullandbang!

You're a bit late though...I already won that prize.

Was thinkin of commisioning him to do a nice nippleous erectous shot next.... That would be Up, Close and Personal

On second thought Pullandbang, I think as a winner, I should be allowed to nominate the model for the male response- YOU!
I'm sure Pete has a good strong macro lens.
