Pentax Point & Shoot Competition #58 - Close-up/Macro
Almost all compact cameras allow us to shoot with a close up focus or macro setting but this can be quite tricky to get good results.
This month lets see what you can do with any subject - flowers, insects, things - but they must be close-ups. Manipulation of image size in PP is also OK so even if your camera has no macro setting you can fudge a good result
