DC Photography Contest #76

[Nimrodel]

The DC Photography contest number 76! Phew, we've had a few now, haven't we? For this contest, the theme is small. As an example, I've chosen this little shoe:

 

 

 

 

 

The Rules:

- One entry per person

- Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra.

- No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.)

- No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo.

- When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness.

- You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition.

 

 

Deadline: Friday, August 9

Oh, wow! This is going to be fun. :-)

[JayJem]

Oh my god YES. >o< I am definitely going to try this.

EDIT.// ok so here's something I did while I was in Italy on vacation [:

IDK if it fits the theme perfectly, but I don't have many recent macro shots, so this is really the best I could find.

I'll enter this picture Moss

 

I hope it fits the theme. Moss is small, so I'm fairly certain it does.

A Rhododendron Leafhopper

It's about 1 cm long

I saw the most adorable, photogenic field mouse while I was out today. He was no bigger than a walnut. Now I wish I had had my nice camera with me.

Sock under the cedar chest!

(Yes, Sock the pup was named for Sockmeister the potato and mod!)

 

OR

 

Many small things?

 

Decisions, decisions.

Sock is adorable.

*faints* Ruby didn't go for the Smurfs?

 

I actually prefer Sock, too, so

 

Sock under the cedar chest it is!

 

(Final answer...)

[Nimrodel]

As long as it's small, it's perfectly fine, tyra ^^ Moss is no problem!

 

Aaaaw, I wish I had been there too, Cielmuir! That sounds ridiculously adorable!

 

 

Glad to see people entering! I'm always nervous of how my chosen themes will be welcomed

I didn't notice them until I went back and looked again. Sock just overwhelmed me with cuteness.

[CrypticAsterisk]

Well, this looks interesting. Might as well enter an old shot of mine.

 

Hershey's Kiss

 

I might have to get back into photography. I do it as a favor for my mom right now by taking pictures of my sister's softball team, but I don't do much on my own anymore. :/

I had to search through some old photos for this, but I couldn't think of anything smaller than these newborn Green Lynx spiderlings. Momma spider can have a body length of up to 22 millimeters (0.87 in).

So uhm I might end up changing my entry since I think [this photo] might fit the theme a bit better than my original picture. What do you guys think?

They're both beautiful, but the caterpillar one is amazing because of the detail of the legs and so on. :-)

D'awww thank you :] I like the legs too, his little fluffy limbs were just so adorable I had to take a picture *v*

 

I guess I'll change it then ;] So the caterpillar will be my actual entry:

The ant is about 3mm long and you can't see the aphid without looking through the viewfinder.
