"Music is what feelings sound like."
This semester I am taking Macro Photography and for our first assignment we were just supposed to shoot 2-3 images using the macro equipment we had just been checked out on. I caught some interference on the back of this CD. Using the Macro equipment is a challenge, and technically speaking, very different than shooting regular sized things. There were a lot of problems that I discovered just from experimenting. I am glad we did this assignment, because it was important for me to discover what I needed to look out for in the future.
This was shot with a D300, and a 60 mm, at a 1:1 ratio. I shot with two 750 hot lights.
ISO 200, f/32, and .4"
This week for macro I shot my friend's tiny owl made out of dried plant/wood. I shot with a D700, 105 mm macro lens, at ISO 200, f/22, 1/6 under halo lights.
This is the back of the owl. It was shot with a D700, 105 mm macro lens, at ISO 200, f/22, 1/6
In Macro this week, we had an assignment to pick an object and shoot it at different magnification ratios, starting at 1:10 and ending at 1:1. This is a layout I did using all 10 images. Click on the image to see it in a larger view. Thanks to all the other photo students who contributed advice on how to comfortably fit all 10 into one layout! That was a challenge.
Shooting macro really makes me look at things a lot differently. There are so many weird textures and designs in things we don't even think of. Fingerprints look so much more pronounced up close.
