January 2010 Photography Assignment - Macro or Close-up

[Gotoplanf]

I really like all the pictures here. I have never really had too much luck with nature macro before, however I will give it another try this month, but have been doing some in home stuff lately. Here's one i did the other day of a water spash.

Cool colours in your splash, I really like it.

Nice work everyone! Maybe by the end of the month I'll come up with something!

If only my son would stay this happy all the time!

That certainly rates as a closeup!!!

So creepy, thank goodness it's on a flower outside!

THAT little thing is creepy????

Good work using the 75-300mm as the zoom gives a more narrow Depth of Field which has given you a nice background blur (bokeh)

See the problem is that, that little creepy thing has eight legs and sneaks into the house and turns into one that is huge!!!!! I'm not a huge fan of them! It comes from years of having my older brothers chase me around with all sorts of creepy crawlys!!!!

Trust me ... that little thing does not come in the house and turn into anything bigger than she is now. It's her cousins that are so big you can see their 8 eyes that creep me out

True, very true!
