Reader challenge

Seasonal close-ups

Enter your best shot to win a copy of Affinity Photo for Windows or macOS worth £49/$50

One of the great things about this month’s challenge is that you don’t need to travel far or spend time constructing a sophisticated home studio setup. As long as you have a lens that focuses relatively close – or you’re prepared to crop images – you can create a vast range of creative images with a ‘DIY’ approach. The only rule is that your picture has to include an obvious close-up element and it needs to have a loose Christmas, seasonal or winter theme.

To enter your best image (one per reader, please), either email your entry to digitalcamera@futurenet.com, putting ‘Seasonal Close-Up Challenge’ in the subject line; or go to our Facebook page (see page 3), look for the ‘Seasonal Close-Up Challenge’ post, and upload your entry into the feed. By entering your image into this competition, you confirm that you own the copyright to the image, and agree that Digital Camera can publish your image in relation to this competition. You retain full copyright of your image, and will be credited if published.

The winner will receive a copy of Serif Affinity Photo for Windows or macOS. Find out more about Affinity Photo at affinity.serif.com/photo
