No delivery charge for PU members whatever you are buying.

Worth a call if you are buying a few items.

I prefer Tony's cropped version.

It could be eligible for the "Hands" competition

It is worth having a look at Competition No. 5 when this theme was last set.

Amongst many other great / humourous images, there is a really good one by / of Lilly.

Absolutely right

Thanks for the comments.

Below is a conventional macro of a small rose bud (less than 25mm in diameter) :-

Well, in the spirit of the original rules laid down by Dr. Mhuni, I shall comment on Heidi's entry

I like the idea behind the photograph but I do find the lighting and /or the contrast rather harsh and unflattering.

I find the signature / watermark slightly distracting.

Having said that, I have not thought of a "Hands" entry yet

I agree.

You would have to find someone who had 'legged it' to another system and was selling everything


Tel,

What is a DA* 55-300 :

Did you commission it from Pentax

With a bit of tweaking, I think that would make a good entry for the competition by Mrs. Womble

There is still time

I wanted to try out how the macro facility works on the X70, so I took this photo of the blue bristles on a small brush (as in a dustpan and brush) that was one of the few things in the garden not blowing around in the wind.

I have not worked out whether it is better to adjust the focal length or move the camera.

Fairly amazing to be able to focus from 10mm on a camera like this

In theory, you can manual focus but not exactly easy on an LCD screen.

I appreciate that Darkmunk's intent was to promote the idea of people thinking about the 'art' they had decided to photograph rather than just taking a straightforward 'copy'. Hopefully this also applies to all of their photographs.

Of course we could debate the subject of "plagiarism in the art world" for the rest of the year and debate "what is art" for the rest of time

In the world of architecture, plagiarism is more than a little rife
