MACRO

Macro photography is like looking at life through a incredible new lens. There is so much beauty in the simplicity of life and yet we pass it by every single day.

For this assignment we needed to have two pictures with water droplets and two without.

This first image was fun for me. I love the contrast of the yellows, reds, and blacks. It make the image pop and help suggest just how attractive these fishing flies are. IN this image I drakened the backgound to add contrast and lightened the red and yellow flies. I think it is simple and beautiful.

This leaf is the first of my two images with water drops. In this image I really wanted to capture the beauty of the yellow pollen on the leaf. I also love the natural red and yellow natural colors on the leaf. In this image I increased the contrast and did some other basic edits but other than that its completely as it was in camera.

This is my second image with water drops. I love the way that the drops collect on the blueberries. I chose to do very little to this image. I did some basic edits but other than that it very as is.

In this image I really wanted to capure a big snowflake. The flakes were very tiny however but I do feel like I got some good ones. For this image I cropped it in nice on the flower and then added contrast and increase to the whites.

This image was one of my favorites simply due to how uncommon it was. I darkened the background and lowered the highlights and other normal edits. I love the gold and metallic look it brings.
