objects1 EXAMPLES OF MY MACRO

Here are a few macro shots i have taken and minipulated,

these two images (below and above) are of tiny little berries covered in little plastic balls about 1cm in diamiter. i love the effect these macro shots give the berries, the clear plastic looks like water droplets were in focus. The photograph below i have changed the amount in vignettes. This i think has benifited the photograph and given it a sertain atmosphere, quite a cold, icy and wintery look. Which in my opinion works well with the warm red and the droplets which could be frozen.

(Below) a range of crystal and glasses i have experimented with macro shooting with an open flame candlelight.

(Above) some amathist/rose quarts crystal. The deatail in the crystal is what i love about it. the layers and lines are in focus in the crystal and different purple and pink tones that are reflecting.

(Above) a red glass candle holder. I have discovered the different effects with a candle light being penatrated thru different glass and crystal and love how the candle light with this glass is highlighting sertain parts of the glass. what i like about this shot is how the focus point has caught the detail of the light on the sharp edges of the peices of glass and the fore ground ( front of the candle holder) is out of focus. the background copletely blacked out drawing the eye even more so to the focal point.

(Above) The main element of this photograph what i like is the differnt textures visable when shot with a macro lense. There is gritty, matt and shiny reflective surfaces with this crystal. this macro shot bring all those aspects out.

(Above) another shot of the candle holder from a different angle. this time there is slightly more in focus and its more apparent that there is light being shone through. Again the detail and colour in this photograph i like. Especially how each individual peice of glass has been illuminated and become more transparent.

(Above) Probably my favourite macro shot from the selection. The depth of feild and focal point is in my opinion just right. an interesting flower upon a bouquet i never noticed in my house before. excellent opertunity. the more i look upon this macro shot the more detail i see in this flower. The different textures   work really well together in such detail all the tiny hairs visable and the uniquie ins and outs of the stigma.

Here there are six macro shots i have taken of a little cherub ornament. I love these photographs as a series and on their own idividualy. Each one has its own atmosphere.

With this series of photographs i love the tone and colour, the white balance which  i have used has created the right effect i wanted, which is a cool dreamy effect. the feathering done by the macro lense adds to this effect.

There are another series of macro photographs i have taken which you will find in my course folder. i have decided to but them in a hand made scetch book. i have chosen to do this to create a background that matches the particular theme of the shots.
