I managed to test the Fujifilm X10 super macro mode on Sunday and was fairly impressed.

The lens can only be used at 28mm in super macro producing a fairly wide shot so I've produced a crop to get nice and close. Both of the images are straight out of camera JPEGs with no edits.

http://www.wired.com/rawfile/2012/04/photo-project-aims-to-capture-a-day-in-the-life-of-the-world/

Thought some of you might like to get involved in this -

Quote:
The world is invited to take photos of their lives on this coming May 15 and submit them to a global documentary project called ADAY.org. Backed by Desmund Tutu and Swedish pop-star Robyn, among others, the effort aims to create a crowdsourced snapshot of the world on that particular day.

“There are so many great things that will never reach the front pages,” says Jeppe Wikstrom, the cofounder of the ADAY.org project. “There is rarely time for those everyday moments even though those moments count.”

To make sure people have some guidance on where to point their cameras, ADAY.org is suggesting photographers shoot a photo that falls within one of three broad categories: home, work or connections.

“Everyone with a camera is longing for a purpose and we want to help people who want to participate but don’t know what to go for,” he says.

The photos will then be uploaded to a single place online, creating a global photographic archive of the world over a single day. (Bonus points to the first person who calculates how many hours that will be across all time zones.) In addition to the archive, ADAY.org will also produce a book and global exhibit that features a selection of the photos. The photos will be hosted on Amazon and will be searchable so they can be mined for educational projects down the road. Anyone who contributes a photo retains his or her copyright.

Surely the most logical teaming for this venture?

And as someone's just pointed out, you've got about an hour to get in on the action before May 15th draws to a close... so uh, get snapping... :oops:

Some for Heather: (These were taken on the "Harz Schmalspurbahn" (Harz narrow guage railway). It is the only railway system running through Harz and does not receive any government subsidy, so it is expensive.)

It was amazing, going out at 5 in the morning in the mountains and the woods and seeing what wildlife we could see. Unfortunately some of the animals were too shy or too quick to be photographed. We saw a fox in the woods, but he was so quick springing over the fallen trees, that I couldn't get the camera on him quick enough.

We followed the wildboars for a while, but couldn't get near enough to them for good images, which was a shame. We tracked them for a while, but we ended up between them (about 8 adults with 10 babies), with some of either side of us. We couldn't see them, but we could hear them. We didn't want to upset them or have them being protective of their young, so we slowly backed out of the area.
