Macro Challenge--Prizes awarded

[stormbind]

I thought that it would be fun and inspire creativity if we, the macro community, had some sort of game/contest to play. So here is the idea...I will provide a topic and you provide the images. After the deadline for submissions has expired I will post a poll for voting. The winner will be selected after a couple days and the prize will be awarded via PM. If all goes well another topic will be selected and we will begin the process again.

**Rules**
--Images must be MACRO
--Images must be unique to you
--Images must be taken after the topic announcement, no old stock
--Images must be posted in this forum
--A description of where the image was taken must be included
--The description must make obvious how your image ties into the topic

Topics:
2/25/2010 --> 3/1/2010
Postal - of or pertaining to the post office or mail service

Go wild Have fun!:smileys:
Remember: "Keep it Macro!"

Whats the prize lol?

 

[stormbind]

The prize will be something different each time. Unless someone donates some prizes I will be supplying them. Because I am a poor college student, the prizes will have no real monetary value.

First round prizes will be My Coke Rewards points. At least enough points to redeem a free 20oz Coke product or 24oz Power-Aid product will be awarded.

Remember for this round you can include anything involving the postal system. You can photograph stamps, envelopes, mail truck parts, heck you could even photo a brick from the post office building. Really there are many ways to approach this assignment from a macro perspective. So have fun and lets see some entries!

So, I'm guessing one entry per person, and we submit them to this thread?

 

[DScience]

So you're saying the prize is a 20oz coke? lol

 

[Darkhunter139]

Haha I will participate but I don't really see the need for prizes.

 

[NateS]

I wasn't gonna play, but dang....I gotta play for a chance at that coke.


Just playin'. Sounds like an interesting idea. If I have time I'll try to participate.

 

[stormbind]

Ok everyone...haha on me for giving away a 20oz coke. Man this is a tough crowd!


Jacki,
Yes it is one entry per person and yes you must submit them through this thread.

Is it okay if I took the shot literally only hours before reading this thread? If not, I can take the same shot again.

Yes that is fine as long as you took the image after I posted to topic. Sounds like you did so you are covered.

 

[stormbind]

Maybe I should have made the first topic insects or water drops :greenpbl:

 

[RalphP13]

I'll give it a go.

It's a stamp, and YES, it's supposed to be upside down.

Sorry to ask a noob question. Does macro in this forum strictly means at least 1 to 1 magnification?

 

[stormbind]

Technically speaking macro is 1:1 or greater, but if you would like to enter the contest feel free to submit a photo.
