Did you get close to something this month?<\/p>\n

Or did you look at this theme in a total different way?<\/p>\n

The thing about a theme like this is that there are many different ways to look at things. You could be close to things in many different ways.<\/p>\n

So how did you interpret it?<\/p>\n

I went with the literal way of looking at things. I got pretty close to things this month. I also got a new lens (Canon\u2019s 24mm pancake\u2026 rented, then bought\u2026 a cheap and awesome lens. It has some macro features), which allowed me to dive into this theme.<\/p>\n

This was kind of a cool topic, in the end. I like closing in on things when I shoot them. Sometimes it comes out better than others. I like the five I chose for this month and I had one or two others (foliage) that I had to push aside, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to see how others tackled this project.<\/p>\n

Anyway, enough of my blabbing. Here are my five photos for the month of October!<\/p>\n

1. A cold one<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, I went to one of the local festivals held in my area each fall. I don\u2019t always go, but it was a perfect day and I met up with an old friend. It\u2019s nice to enjoy a fine local (Ommegang) beer and catch up on things.<\/p>\n

\"Tasty!\"

Tasty!<\/p><\/div>\n

2. Color<\/strong><\/p>\n

I took advantage of a day off and a warm fall day and hit a local state park for some photos. Looks like some nature was enjoying the warmth, too.<\/p>\n

\"Hanging

Hanging on!<\/p><\/div>\n

3. Championship gold<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am working on a project for an independent wrestling federation and took some images of their championship belts. I thought closing in on the title would be pretty cool.<\/p>\n

\"The

The championship!<\/p><\/div>\n

4. Hungry!<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can I go a month without Cam? He was a hungry boy on this day\u2026 so a little closer look at that!<\/p>\n

\"Mmmm...\"

Mmmm…<\/p><\/div>\n

5. Autumn<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fall is here and quickly turning. Most leaves are off trees. I liked the look of this one when I saw it \u2026 holding on as long as it could.<\/p>\n

\"Hanging

Hanging on as long as it can!<\/p><\/div>\n

That\u2019s my five and now it\u2019s your turn!<\/span><\/p>\n
