********The Weekly Close Up 88/2013********

First of all, a big thanks for all of your participation last week.   My family and I had a pretty rough week so it was nice to see this thread fully alive and well.  I also appreciate the history lesson about the early days of this long running thread.  Thank you Tony, Sifu and Jimi for that.  Good stuff for sure.

With that said welcome to the Weekly Close Up!!!

Thank you to all who contributed to last weeks thread.

The guidelines are the same, as always:

• Please post your macro or close up captures.
• Let everyone know what setup you used to take your captures and if you cropped.
• Let us know any techniques that you used to get your close up results.
• All camera and lens combinations are welcomed.
• Please reply your post as a response to the opening post and switch to “Threaded View.”

Have fun and thank you in advance for your close up bug, flower and anything in-between captures. Participation, comments and feedback are very much encouraged.

Good Day!!!

BJ
