DVXUser Photography Challenge: Round 12

If you don't know the who, what, when or why of this please do a search, it's a weekly gig.

OK, so here are the details, fine print, and all that jazz:

Shooting / Submission Period: November 15th-November 22nd at 11:59PM EST.
Voting: 11.23-11.26 at 11:59PM
Topic: "Who Says Size Matters?"
Details: This week we are going to focus on the overlooked aspect of macro photography. Macro photography is:
Macro photography is a type of close-up photography. The classical definition is photography in which the image on film or electronic sensor is as large or larger than the subject. Therefore, on 35 mm film (for example), the camera has to have the ability to focus on an area at least as small as 24×36 mm, as this is the size of the image on the film. This is a magnification of 1:1.

Great job this week everyone.
 
Any chance we can upload before the deadline day? I'll be out of town that day due to the holiday and won't have internet access the rest of the week.
 
I'm a little confused on what to upload. In the first post it says submit the original and the final, but 2 posts up it says just submit one photo. Which is it?

argh, no time this week so i cant get anything too crazy. Going abstract for this round, see how it works out. Hopefully we get some cool entries, lookin' forward to it.
 
I have two entries done... One pretty traditional and one... well, that I'm keeping to myself. We'll see if I have time to do something else for this round but most likely just these two are what I'm going to enter.

It feels good to be back in the mix.
 
My first attempt at macro photography has been uploaded. Now on to Round 13 until voting starts. :)

See that is why these are important... First attempt at macro! See, maybe you'll discover a new love (or just hate it like I do)

Leaning towards that one. :thumbsup:

Seriously though, these contests have really made me look at photography beyond just point and click. So much so that I had to steal my wife's digital Rebel and order her a new XTi.

I've got one so far... I planned to upload it today, but I left my flash drive at home. (I like to check my photos on my monitor at work since it's more accurate than my laptop.) I had another idea, but I don't think I'm going to be able to put it together in time. I might work on something else though...
