Macro Photography By:Kiana


For this photography assignment we were instructed to take pictures as close as possible to get the best outcome. Due to the magnified textures of the photo it makes an ordinary object more difficult to recognize. The main part of this assignment was to crop the image in order to get the best possible outcome.The most difficult part was getting the camera to focus and get as close as possible to the object in order to get a nice textured photo. Overall this assignment was a cool experiment and allowed me to get creative with the crops of my photos.

For this Assignment I decided to do Macro Photography. This is usually to take closer shots of objects, nature, etc. and to show their details and textures. At the start I had some troubles of not knowing what to take pictures of but in the end I enjoyed this assignment a lot.

This new assignment is called macro. This lets you enhance the value of nature and objects around you. A normal concurring everyday item may seem normal but may have some unique details and texture. This type of photography allows us to easily see the detail of objects we photograph. We were told to put the focus on manual since the cameras couldn't fully focus on their own. The outcome of these pictures turned out amazing, if you had the right object with the right texture to
capture. This shows how beautiful photography can get and capture the neat texture of an object.

This assignment is called Macro Photography. It gave us an opportunity to take pictures of subjects, figures, actions, at a closer view capturing its fine textures. We as a class were required to use manual focus for our camera’s auto focus was not designated to be used for this style of photography. Doing this assignment opened up my eyes to a whole new perspective of photography. I learned that there can be a beauty in something small or enlarged, or even both. I really enjoyed this assignment for I have already been doing this type of photography at a young age before even knowing how to use a camera to its full potential. If I were asked to do this assignment again I’d definitely do it and create more variety in pictures.

I chose Macro Photography for my second assignment in term three. I chose this assignment because i wanted to take pictures of the small details of an object. I needed to focus on the details of every object and I need to look closely to every detail. It was kind of difficult at first but then i got used to it and had fun. i had fun looking for the small details of the object that i was taking picture of

For this assignment, I chose to do macro photography. I chose this because I wanted to capture up close photos that show small details. I used different kinds of lenses and the focus was on manually. I had to focus it myself to get the picture I wanted. Throughout this entire assignment, I had a lot of fun because I really had to get close to the subject to capture a good photo. For one of the photos, I had a photo where there was a bee on a flower and I had to be real careful since I didn't want to get stung by the bee.

I chose macro photography as my second assignment in term 3. The goal for this assignment was to produce small objects as if they were larger than their life-size.  With this style of photography, I was able to have a lot of control over my settings which allowed me to really get a good understanding of all the camera functions as I always had to adjust to capture the optimal photo.

This assignment is called the "Macro Photography Assignment". The intent was to take pictures at a very minuscule scale and enlarge regular size items to create a new perspective for the image.
The beginning of the assignment was difficult for me when getting close to the photo I wanted it would blur. Once learning to use the reverse lens it helped tremendously as I could take shots clearly at a close range. The technique I used was rocking back and forth as I adjusted the lens, I watched multiple you tube videos to help configure my photos. Overall, I enjoyed this assignment and would love to do it again.

This type of technique shows a slightly larger subject of the photograph. Fact: Macro comes from the Greek word Makros meaning large. This assignment was quite difficult to work with. It was frustrating to focus on a part of the subject. Many pictures were taken on subjects to get it focused. Lots of time was used to hopefully put all of this together and tried my best to finish it up in time. I look forward to using this technique in the future as I take my photography skills with me.

For this project we were to take very close up picture of any subject. 



Macro by RJ

Macro photography is one of our assignments. It is usually just extreme -close ups of objects where the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than that of a life size. In this type of photography, most subjects such as small objects and insects are used. Instead of using auto focus, we instead had to use manual focus so that we would have more control over how the picture would turn out. I found out that lenses such as 50mm to 200mm are great lenses, unfortunately i could only get my hands on a 55mm lens. the assignment was quite fun and challenging at the same time.



Macro Photos By Justin




In the last term of school, the GCT class has gotten a few assignments and the students got to pick one of those multiple assignments. The one I had chosen was Macro Photography. The students of GCT had to go around the school or at home and take photos close to the subject of their choice. In the slide deck below shows the Macro photos I have taken over the past week:

We were given an assignment to complete (of our choice). I chose Macro Photography, which creates quite interesting photos that give people another view on certain objects. I included 10 macro photography photos in my slide deck. Macro photography involves being completely zoomed in on your subject whilst using manual-focus (so that auto-focus won't make your photos blurry) which allows me to adjust the amount of focus and where my camera should be focusing.

Here is my slide deck for Macro Photography.

For my assignment we got to use the camera to take macro photography. Marco photography is close up pictures of objects, when the object is close up you get to see the tiny things such as texture of the object you are taking.


Macro Photography by Frans Narciso



Macro Photography is the art of taking close up pictures that show details unable to be seen with the human eye. It gives us a glimpse of the small world. I selected Macro Photography as my first assingment in term 3. It was a bit frustrating to focus on a small part of the subject but worth the time since the pictures turned out wonderful. Although simultaneously, it was fun because I had series of objects that I wanted to see up close. In general, I enjoyed doing Macro Photography despite the time it took for some images to focus. I'm looking forward to incorporate the new concepts I've learned later on in my life.


My Top 10 Tips for Macro Photography
1) When taking a macro, you should pay attention to the lighting. Personally I found it best to have your light source directly at your subject.
2) It's okay if your image isn't that close to the subject because you can always crop it in photo shop.
3) Use a diffuser. If you don't know what a diffuser, its anything white the makes your light source bigger. If you're cheap like me, I just used a piece of white paper.
4) The background doesn't matter if you're using a high aperture since the background will blur anyways.
5) Make sure you're camera is on burst mode since not all pictures are gonna be focused.
6) Try to get on the same level as your subject, it makes the picture more interesting.
7) Some interesting photos to take are of insects, bugs, flowers, plants, abstract images, and fruits.
8) To get the most out of available depth of field, select a small aperture like f/16 or even f/22.
9) If your subject is not focusing dont move the camera, move the subject.
10) Explore unusual angles, the picture doesn't always have to be on top of your subject

Macro Photography by Caleb


For our first GCT assignment we needed to choose what we wanted to do between multiple different assignments. Out of all the assignments, I chose to do "Macro Photography". The task for this was to create a slide deck of pictures that have been completely zoomed in. When taking Macro Photography you want to have manual focus ON. The manual focus lets the photographer take a crisper and better focused picture.


Macro Assignment

For this assignment I got to play around with the idea of macro photography, macro is essentially extreme close ups on regular objects which turns normal everyday things, like pencils, locks, etc. Into interesting pieces of eye candy for your photographs.

MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY
This is my first assignment of term 3 and it was about Macro Photography. Our objective was to take pictures up close to make it appear bigger than it's normal life-size. Macro is usually taken from small objects or living organisms such as insects as they are quite small and provide unique features. When taking Macro photos, I use manual focus rather than autofocus as it enables the ability to control and adjust the focus of the object and its surrounding. Lenses that go pretty well with Macro Photography are 50mm to 200mm but I prefer 50mm as it was much easier to take pictures of small objects that fit into the picture. Unfortunately, there weren't any flowers or insects to take pictures of due to the cold conditions. It would've been more fun and interesting to take pictures of nature with the flowers and insects alongside but there was no chance of it happening, sadly. Despite not being able to take pictures of the beautiful flowers with insects, this was still a fun project as it was a different style of photography and was pretty interesting.









Macro Photography



In this assignment we worked on Macro photography. Macro photography is extreme close up of small objects or normal objects in which the size of the object in the photograph is greater than life size. Usually living organisms or small objects are used to take macro photos but anything object is good to be used. Instead of auto focus, macro uses manual focus where get to control the focus of the object and the background. Some good lenses for macro photography are 50mm to 200mm. But i prefer 50mm because it was much easier for me take pictures of the small object and fit it into the picture. This assignment was very fun to do because i learned a new style of photography and new trick to take pictures
