Compact with a compact

Challenge #3 in the Jaysen dog-foods challenges series. Hosted by Jaysen Marais.

Challenge has finished

Put away those interchangeable lens bodies, dust off the compact (old or new) and focus on something, well, compact. Anything which economizes on space is acceptable: gadgets, animals, architecture etc. Remember, compact doesn't necessarily mean small, large items can be compact too! Remember, your shot has to be taken with a compact
