As a bit of background for those new to this challenge, the host selects a specific technique to try. The technique may be brand new for some or just a challenge to be creative or practice for others. Previous techniques have covered quite a bit of ground:
1. Low key
2. Motion blur
3. Split toning
4. Flipped reflections
5. Long exposure
6. Professional looking portraits
7. Mini portraits
8. Rim lighting
9. High/fast shutter speed
10. Vintage in modern
11. Double/multiple exposure
12. Forced perspective
13. Zoom burst
14. Multiplicity
15. Panning photography
16. ICM
17. Shaped bokeh
18. B&W
19. High key
20. In the night
21. One-light lighting
22. Refractions
23. Selective color
24. Tilt-shift
25. Into the sun/flare photography
26. white background
As you can see, the possibilities are endless! It could even be specific techniques in processing. The host is the photographer who won the last challenge. I’m thrilled to have won the last challenge and thanks to all of you who voted for my image from among all of the lovely entries. So………the next challenge is:
Technique challenge 27 = macro photography
I was a little surprised when I looked at the list to see that macro photography has yet to be a challenge! I want to do something that anyone can do without special equipment or software. I have a macro lens for my DSLR but even most point and shoots and phone cameras can shoot macro these days. And there are techniques one can use with their DSLR to shoot macro without special lenses (see some of the links that follow). Flowers and bugs are typical subjects but there is a much bigger world out there to shoot macro. I invite you to explore the lovely macro shots on 365. Just go to “browse” and select “by tag” and then “macro” So macro it is! Here are links to some online sites that you might find helpful or inspirational.
This challenge starts Sunday, June 22nd and will finish Sunday July 6th . Photos for the challenge should be shot and posted within that time frame. Please tag your photos technique27. Voting will begin on July 7th and the winner announced on July 10th

Moving away from the birds and the bugs (which I love but just felt a need to be different), I headed down into the basement and the grungy work out equipment for this shot.
Although the details of the camera used do not show on this page (because I transferred the image to Lunapic to add a frame) my camera is a humble Canon PowerShot A2500 - I can select a macro setting when switched to 'Live" mode.
Tweets ahoy!
