Leaf

Photo by: Morgan Griffin In this photo I attempted to make the background blurry and the leaf in focus. I didn’t try anything special. I am happy with the results I think it looks pretty good, a little blurry though. I would have put a little more effort or time into the picture.

No Title Submitted :(

Photo by: Kamryn Taylor I love this photo; everything about it is really beautiful to me. The color contrast and the rain drops are all really great. The rain drops turn out really well with them being in perfect focus. I took this picture for a close-up or macro assignment and I was really happy to find this flower still alive since it was so cold. Over all I’m really happy with it.

On the same level

Photograph by: Sidnee Lee I chose this photo, because I thought the angle and perspective that it was at, was very neat. The color of this photo is also what drew me to choosing this one. I enjoy taking pictures like these because I enjoy the nature scenes.

Looking In

Photo by: Thalia Chavez I took this picture of my Cousin Kasey’s eye because she has beautiful eyes. We were working on macro photos and I decided she was perfect for the photo. What I love most about this picture is that her eye pops and the side of her face and her nose is white.

Cute As A Button

Photo by: Samantha Frasier This is a photo I took for macro photography. I poured a bottle of buttons on my table, put on my macro lens and took pictures from all different angles; this is the picture that turned out the best. It took some editing to lighten the photo and bring out the photo.

Dicin’ It Up

Photo by: Ryan Legaspi I specifically chose this photograph because of the combination of distinguishable colors. The vibrant and contrasting colors were unique to any of the other Macro Photographs I had taken in the assignment. I took this photograph on my desk, and surprisingly I was able to capture additional colors in the background. The hazy blue lighting in the background came from my laptop.

Parasols

Photo by: Oscar Campos-Morales In this picture I’m attempting in doing Macro Photography in white was on of our projects, so I decided to use this mini beverage umbrella. My main attempt in this picture was to focus more into the center point of this small umbrella, but I am satisfied with how it looks like.

Burned Cupcake

-Maddison Keaton I took this delicious photo for a “Close-Up” assignment. It’s definitely a lot of fun to take pictures of food. I thought a close up of a cupcake would be perfect for this. I ended up darkening the edges in Photoshop to emphasize the cupcakes appearance. Overall, I think it turned out pretty good!

Blown Away

Photo by: Kelsey Nore This picture was taken on the campus of my high school by the baseball fields. It was a really pretty sunny day when I took this photo, and the fall colors really popped. It was slightly windy, and I found the leaf like this, blown into the fence like this. I thought it was super cool.

Blue Autumn

Photo by: Kaia Jerome In this photo, I attempted to capture the leaves from a different angle. I was able to make not only the leaves clear, but the rocky ground in focus as well which I’m happy about! The photo wasn’t originally antique colored until I edited it, but now that I did I really enjoy the effect. It kind of gives a blue feeling, in contrast to the brightness of the red leaves.

Shimmering Mist

Photo by: Justin Balas This photo was taken by reversing my lens. I was out in my yard one soggy Sunday morning when I came across a baby rose stem covered in dew. I tried sharpening my macro photography technique, and the result was this magnificent photo! I like the light through the center dew drop because it adds an essence of serenity.

The Illuminated Path

Photo by: Heather Greenwood I love early autumn for the beautiful range of colors backed up by a bright, cloudless sky. I was excited to take fall-themed pictures for our next photo assignment and found this tree and pathway near the Nathan Chapman trail. The sun behind the tree makes the trail behind it bright and warm looking, and it shines through the yellow tree, brightening the leaves even more. The ori

ginal photo was a bit darker and the colors didn’t show up as well, so I used Camera Raw to make the leaves look more yellow and add more warmth to the photo.

The Tiger

Photo by: Beatrice Romero This photograph was taken as a macro assignment. The picture consists of a close up of an Orchid.

I attempted to try to fill the frame from the center of the flower. But what I absolutely loved about this photograph was the tiger like appearance in the middle. This made the picture uniquely different from other Orchids.

Rainy Days

Photo by: Ashley Wildman When taking this photo I really want to capture all of the rain drops in focus. I really love how this picture turned out. What was really unique is that ever rain drop is in focus.

A Bite of Heaven

Photo by: Abby Advincula I took this photo of the Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies I made for my macro project. I love baking and I thought it’d be cool to see the close up of these delicious cookies. These cookies are easy to make so I took a variety of pictures of the cookies in all sorts of angles. I took pictures of them close up without the bite at first and realized it’d be

better if we actually see the Oreo inside the cookie. I love how focused it turned out and how nice the colors look. And not to mention how good it looks too. Makes you want to take a bite out of your computer screen just by looking at it huh? (:
