I think a challenge about insects would be fun lol the first one was in 2003. :)
Insects Challenge
Title: A Bug's Life
Description: Photograph a bug in its natural environment. (or something like that)
edit: maybe it can be a basic challenge with advanced editing? theres always little things that can distract in nature.. :)

| Absolutely! That would be a fun shot. And it is definitely the right time of year! |

| It might make people happier to call it Arresting Arthropods, so that it can include arachnids, crustaceans, centipedes, and all other jointed-legged animals with exoskeletons ... |

You mean those aren't bugs? ;^) |

Yeah, my first thought was the arguments brewing over whether to follow the spirit or the letter of the challenge, and just what IS the spirit of it meant to include :) But I DO like an arthropod idea; count me in! |

If they are, it gives you a new perspective on Lobster Thermidor, eh? |

a local restaurant keeps their lobsters in a cage in the harbour, just off their dock. (the water is very clean here) the key to the cage is labelled 'bugs'

In Maine and Massachusetts the locals call lobsters "bugs"...

Actually I've heard that before (about lobsters) ... which is why I thought my expanded definition would save lots of DNMC arguments.
Bacteria are bugs. Viruses are bugs. The NSA may have a bug in your living room. It's fine if you want the term imprecise and subject to broad interpretation, but if what you want is a challenge full of chitinous creatures it's best to be scientifically specific.

"It's simple in concept, ferociously difficult in execution; get out in the field and shoot a "bug" (or bugs) in its natural environment. For the purposes of this challenge, think insects, spiders, centipedes, scorpions, lobsters, crabs, anything with an exoskeleton and jointed legs."

| You might want to specify "any animal" if you don't want some exoskeletal robots ... |

Great suggestion but you know the top photos will be the ones shot in a controlled studio environment while everyone else tries to captures live bugs in the field.

I really like this suggestion, as I could get a lot of practice with my new "Macro" lens.....
I am all for it, so I do hope the "Powers to Be" are reading this great idea, and put it into practice.....
