Mike Moats’ Unique Macro Photo Contest

May 21st, 2012 by Mike Moats

 

Our pal Mike Moats has announced a Macro Photo Contest with a twist:  No flowers or critters allowed!
We’re happy to be one of the sponsors of this contest, and we’re looking forward to seeing some unique images.

You can get more information on the contest here.

Here is Mike’s original post about the contest that lists some of the prizes and rules.  Have fun!

  
Special Assignment Macro Contest, Tons Of Great Prizes

This is not your typical macro in nature contest.

No flowers or critters are allowed.

Any subjects in nature other than flowers or critters are eligible.

I need you to go out and explore and find me some cool macro subjects or search out past images in your hard drives, but no flowers or critters. There are tons of great subjects other than flowers and critters, so the challenge is to find something that will win yourself one of these great prizes.
