CIC 243: Small

Dunlin

Member
The theme is Small.
Small is defined as - (a) of a size that is less than normal or usual: (b) insignificant; unimportant. You could view the topic as an option to take out your macro lens (if you have one), or as an opportunity to shoot the lower, less important things in life.
Up to you. Of course, you can interpret "small" however you want.
As usual creativity is encouraged.

The Eligible Gallery: is for images captured with any camera, any brand, but during the Challenge period.

The Exhibition Gallery: This is for images captured outside the Eligible Entry Period, noted below,

A couple of typos; here's the correct version:

I'm not familiar with this... What is CIC?
This a camera challenge that has run for years in DPReview. It started out as a challenge only for Canon Cameras, as has evolved to accept photos from any camera.
Photos are posted by the photographer and cataloged on pbase.com
We are currently a small informal group which exists primarily to have fun.
The voting is done by the contributing members on a spreadsheet shared in Google Docs. We only vote on the photos in Eligible, though we have an exhibition gallery.
The winner gets to choose the next topic (we look for wide topics, not narrow) and post the new thread. We encourage comments on photos.
Sometimes we critique a photo, and make constructive suggestions. Sometimes a photographer swaps out a photo for a new one during our time period.
We try to adhere to a topic, but creativity is welcomed.

Take a look at our galleries.

We welcome new photographers.
As it says above:

As Jim said it used to be “Canon Image Challenge” nowadays I simply call it “Camera Image Challenge”. We certainly would welcome you to our group if you enjoy using your camera for fun.

I’ve got a entry that pushes the limits of creative thinking into the cheating zone. AGAIN!
