Welcome to Bubhub Photo Comp 14.

Congratulations to Hayleylea for winning round 13. She has chosen the theme for this round:


MACRO

Macro photos are images that are life-sized or larger, or 'close-ups'.

There are only 20 photos allowed in each competition unless otherwise stated in the thread.

Here are the PHOTO COMPETITION RULES.
1. You may only enter 1 photo.

2. The photo MUST be taken specifically for the competition. You cannot use one you already have.

3. Editing - you can crop your photo, and you can change it to either black & white or sepia. No other changes are allowed.

4. The winner can choose the theme for the following round and pm it to either Two Blue or myself. We will then start up the thread.

Please note - if your entry doesn't comply with the rules, we'll remove it and pm you so you can fix it or submit another entry (if there's still any places available).

The aim of the competition is to use your photographic skills. It is not a cute baby contest (although we all love cute babies), and kids don't need to be in the photo at all, it's about taking the best photo you can, something with a little 'wow factor'.
When you're entering a photo or voting, see if it has these type of elements:
- is it in focus?
- does it relate to the theme?
- does it have good composition (ie does the subject have their legs cut off, or is too low in the picture etc)
- is the lighting good?
- is it creative?

If anyone has ideas/suggestions for the comp, please pm Two Blue or myself as we want to make this as fun for everyone as possible. HAPPY SNAPPING

Great Photo Phineas!!

Just a quick description to help some of the ones out who dont know what macro is.... *Macro/closeup - The ability of a lens to focus just inches away from an object or subject so as to produce big close-ups, sometimes even larger-than-life size *

Goodluck everyone :D

Great pics :thumbsup:

Think i may have to sit this one out due to my really old camera :( Gonna get a new one hopefully in a few weeks.

Just wondering though I'm able to borrow a camera so im wondering is that allowed to use a camera that isn't you're own?

I'm sure it's cool if you borrow a cam - but just use your old one! There's a saying that "no photographer is as good as even the simplest camera".

If anyone is lacking inspiration, maybe you could get close-ups of bubs hands or feet while they are sleeping, I love those shots:angel:

Thanks for the compliments guys.

HINT for those with 'older' style cameras:
Creative cropping can turn an ordinary photo into something special. Crop down to an interesting area of your pic.:thumbsup:
