NEW - Macro Challenge - KEY

November 6th, 2017
First, I just wanna say that I really enjoyed the last
Macro Challenge about Hands. I feel like there's just
million ways how you can photograph your own hands.

And I thank Lynn (@rumpelstiltskin) for hosting the last challenge.
Also wanna thank you all the people who joined.

So for this new macro challenge, I am choosing KEY
as the the theme and this will run from

November 5th to November 19th PST.

Please tag your photos or entries with macro-key

You'll want to be careful when posting a photo of your keys online. It is possible for someone to make a physical copy of your key from just a photo of it. You may remember when the TSA master keys got posted online -- https://www.wired.com/2015/09/lockpickers-3-d-print-tsa-luggage-keys-leaked-photos/

But depending on your lock, it might be easier for someone to just pick it than try to make a copy of it from a photo.

To be safe, I'd use those keys that you don't know what they go to anymore, but you're too afraid to throw out.

@sudweeks thanks for the warning and letting us know on this info. I did forget that. Good thing that the key I used was from an old knob and no more use.
