Week 10 - Macro Photography

Macro photography is just another word for Close up photography.  John is really good with getting awesome detail shots with his camera (which by the way is just a simple point and shoot camera)!  With a DSLR or just a regular SLR you have to make sure that you have a macro lens which helps you get UP close and personal with your subject.  But if you have a point and shoot camera just switch that camera to your macro setting and just start shooting.

Some tips for macro photography:
- Make sure that you have a clear space (maybe even a black background or a white background)
- Make sure you have plenty of light so that you can take your pictures!!
- If you are able to put your camera on a tripod because you want to avoid shaking the camera.

Your challenge for this week is to take a close up something! (Could be a picture of your jewelry - rings, necklace, charms, etc or close of cooking - spices, chocolate chip cookie, etc or a flower or animal) Let your imagination flow!!
