Page 1 of 4
Another challenging topic that in actual fact was very much enjoyed by everyone. The idea is to take pictures of something small. You can either use the macro capability of your camera, including phone cameras, to take a picture very close up or zoom in from a greater distance.

Bob T had been experimenting with pictures of bubbles large and small. Sue chose this one of large bubbles which worked well.
Bob was particularly pleased with his close-up of his dog Barney's eyes.

Fiona enjoys macro photography and was pleased with her picture of the house plant Anthrium.
Alan commented on the sharpness of this orchid.
IW
Ian sent in a beautiful set of pictures taken in south India, using a 16-55mm lens and cropped. We much admired them all, but chose this one - a Pied Paddy Skimmer dragonfly.
Ian really liked his Tawny Coster butterfly (as did we).
