Weekly Comp:24/06 - 02/07/17 -  CHAT THREAD – UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

The topic for this week is UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
In setting this I`m challenging myself to use 2 fairly new and up until now unused pieces of equipment - some extension rings for my Nikon and or a Raynox DCR 250 macro filter my girls bought me for my Fuji for Father`s Day. Using whatever you have get us as close to something and show  us your best shot. It doesn`t have to be something personal to you - no rude selfies  :D
