it's here, sorry for the delay folks, the tie made the last contest bitchy, but here's the new one
props to BamBam for winning the last one and he will be our contest moderator if you wanna call it that for this next week, he will be making decisions regarding ties and rules and stuff so don't bitch, he gets to do what he wants unless it's ridiculous
the roolz:-you may post 1 PHOTO ONLY, i know it's hard but try to edit down-if your photo strays from the topic, explain why-no hating other people's photos, constructive criticism only-no voting for your own photo-we will have a voting thread to determine top 5, then we will vote again to find the winner-post your own photos, please don't take other people's-click on embedded photos before judging, NS drains the color from them-winner chooses the next topic-you cannot win 2 times in a row, you can win twice, just not in a row, bambam cannot win this contest
the topic:this is from BamBam
For the next photo comp round I want to see some close up shots of everyday objects. Macro lenses are nice but not necessary so break out the extension tubes, reversing rings, or go ghetto and make a cardboard extension tube or just hold your lens on backwards. Or just get in as close as your lens can focus, or crop tight on your computer. As long as the end result is a closer viewpoint than it's normally seen that's what we're looking for. Make it as literal or abstract as you see fit. The main goal here is to make very normal everyday object look interesting/artistic/engaging by showing it close-up. Go.
here are a few examples he provided:http://www.flickr.com/photos/seeks2dream/3423790451/

tough topic... gonna have to do some brainstorming for this one.. hopefully we won't see too many stock 18-55's on the widest setting with shots of flowers haha
 
i've been trying to figure it out for the last 20 minutes trying to procrastinate for a calc III exam tomorrow.

wtf is it?!
 
To clear some things up- it WAS done with a water balloon and pin

Setup- 2 strobes w/ pw's - done outdoors

Took a lot of practice to get timing down.
 
I can't win this anyway so I'm posting 2 just for fun I shot today while shooting some stuff for eBay.

I used it for about 20 miles then swapped to a 3/32 to match some new parts. So I cleaned it up a little to go on eBay which is why I was shooting it.
 
I picked my toothbrush. It's practically like you're in my mouth making out with me... (remember to click for viewing)

i was gonna post something more creative, but i loved the angle and composition on this shot, to put it into perspective, that's the center of a flower and the whole flower is about the size of a half dollar
you have to click it
