Week 5 - Macro

I found this week to be interesting in trying to capture Macro photos and edit them. I edited them but felt they didn't need to be.

Before & After of a gorgeous white carnation from the same arrangement as the Lily.

Before picture of a basket. I felt the way I edited it, it made the colors too blue so I opted not to save the edited and go with the original.

Same with this picture, the edited verision came way too dark and this already shows how vibrant the color of the plant really is.

Macro Assignment

This was a very fun assignment. I found it to be one of the most challenging as far as zooming in and focusing the camera. Apparently, taking photos of small objects can be tricky. 

Macro Week

Hi everyone, this series was very interesting for me. I felt like I was on a hunt, getting close up and personal with each shot. I did have some camera difficulties but I'm glad I was able to complete the assignment. Some of the photos were taken at the park while others were taken at home. I hope you all like them.

 This photo is my favorite of all, it reminds me of butterflies.

WEEK 4 + 5

Hi everyone! 

Please forgive my absence as I have been going through some personal things with my family and the hurricane that hit Puerto Rico. So I am not going to lie, I have been very distracted and unmotivated when it came to taking photos, which has definitely been a shame because this has been my favorite course to date! Below you will see a combination of week 4 and 5s assignment - light and shadows and macro photography! The butterfly is actually a REAL Monarch butterfly that my sister got me from the Big E because she knows I love Monarch butterflies. It is framed. The cat photos are my cuteness overload Chloe :) I was inspired by the photo example posted under macro photography examples of  a cat looking up! I took photos around my home of items I own and plants around my house. I tried to keep in mind the assignments up close to detail and of different shadows and light. I've had the rose from the photos taken here for over a year and I just love how they were captured. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work.
