Above, are my two favorite shots for week four. I had ordered a lens filter for my camera, allowing me to get closer to a subject in Macro mode, without having to spend a lot of money for a new lens (thank you for the suggestion, Professor Nevins!). Anyway, my filter finally came, so I have been experimenting with it. These are two of my best so far, and I'll probably post an update once I find a garden with some better flowers and other plant life.
I am really loving the clarity of each flower. That's how I want to be able to capture up close photos.
ReplyDeleteA good tip for focusing is to move your body in and out on the subject, timing the shutter release to the movement, just as it reaches its maximum sharpness... A tripod can also be a big help.
ReplyDeleteTry looking at raindrops on leaves too... working when its overcast or having just rained is a great time to shoot in the garden.
