So it’s Monday and I’ve got this sweet, new macro lens and I thought to myself, “hmmm, Macro Monday!” would be a fun thing I can do to help me learn to use this monster.

Here’s the deal. I’ll post a macro shot of something I found during the previous week and you get to guess what it is. If you guess it right, you win! What do you win? The satisfaction of knowing that you’re smart and get to help me refine my photo taking skillz. Cause they aren’t quite mad yet, yo. *giggle* Sorry, I guess I can’t do better than that right now.

I’ll post the answer (and winner if there is one!) as well as a small non-cropped version of the photo so you can see for yourself what it is on the following Monday when we start all over again. The photos will not be heavily edited. I might adjust the lighting levels if they’re too dark, or correct the color if it’s off and perhaps sharpen it just a tad if it needs it, but that’s it. They will be at the magnification that the camera takes them… no digital zooming!

If you have a macro or even a point and shoot that takes really great close-ups, feel free to participate on your own blog! Just make sure you leave me a comment to let me know so I can check it out.

Here’s our first Macro Monday photo (click to enlarge):

What do ya think? Do you think you know it? Tell me! Outsmart my macro. *grin*
