For this assignment, I really wanted to get a good idea of what to shoot for. On the syllabus, there was a link for a gallery of macro shots and I thought I could get inspired to try and recreate or take similar photos, but after looking at them, the artist had some really good pictures that might be too good for me. One of my favorites was this one. I really love how the water droplets on the leaf and how you can also see the flower in the water droplets. After a rainy couple of days, I want to try and attempt a photo similar to this although I know it will be very difficult since there are no flowers outside.
If anyone wanted to see exactly where I got this from here is the link; gallery of amazing macro shots.
which is also in the syllabus under week 5
Nice Erina. It is important to look at wark that inspires you. This photograph would take a lot of skill to pull off. The iPhones can get close, but not this close. It takes a specialized (and expensive) macro lens, a tripod, stacked focusing of many images that are combined and a knowledge of lighting. Hopefully you will pursue a higher level of Photography for the rest of your life and can someday do equally impressive work.
