This month we want to see your best close-up shots of nature taken on a Canon camera. A macro lens is ideal for getting closer to your subjects for super close-ups. Look for details in nature such as tiny insects, bugs or patterns in leaves for example. Our favourite nature close-ups will appear in an issue of PhotoPlus magazine, so if you have an image that is perfect for our brief submit it for a chance to be featured in the magazine and the winner will take home a Joby GorillaPod 3K tripod and ball head kit worth £117.95! We look forward to seeing your best shots!
The winner will receive a Joby GorillaPod 3K tripod and ball head kit worth £117.95. The judge's top ten images will also feature in a future issue of PhotoPlus magazine.
DO: Ensure your photo was taken on a Canon camera. Have EXIF data in your photo (or supply the camera settings in the info section). Provide a title for your photo. Write a description of the photo you're entering of at least 50 words to give us the background of what the image is of and how it was taken. A little context can go a long way! Check your photo has a resolution of at least 3000 pixels on the longest edge of the photo as we will be printing our top picks in PhotoPlus: the Canon magazine.
DO NOT: Have a watermark on your photograph. Supply images taken on camera systems other than Canon. Submit low-resolution pics
The winner will receive a Joby GorillaPod 3K tripod and ball head kit worth £117.95. Compatible with lightweight DSLRs and mirrorless cameras the Joby GorillaPod 3K can handle up to 3kg of equipment and has articulating ball and socket leg joints allowing it to be manoeuvred into the correct position, or even wrapped around objects like a lamp post, railing or tree branch. It's ideal for photographers who love to travel light or even looking for a nifty option to mount your flashguns off-camera. The judge's top ten images will also feature in a future issue of PhotoPlus magazine.
