Camera shot captures front of military craft ... (7)
I believe the answer is:
macrame
'craft' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'camera shot captures front of military' is the wordplay.
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'captures' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'front of' says to take the initial letters (the letter at the front of the word).
The initial letter of 'military' is 'm'.
'camera' with letters rearranged gives 'macrae'.
'macrae' going around 'm' is 'MACRAME'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for macrame that I've seen before include "Decorative craft of knotting string" , "Threadwork" , "Cord-knotting craft" , "knotty work!" , "Knotted thread work" .)
