Nicole's Macro Collage

I took a great many macro shots to get the twenty posted above. Many of the photos were taken in the woods and the lighting wasn't quite right (and using your flash for macros just washes them out). Another difficulty I encountered was my inability to hold still; I moved far more than I realized. Any suggestions from more experienced members of our class? I had a great deal of fun with these shots though; I loved taking macro shots of objects with unusual textures and shapes. [Note the unusual number of fungi above. They definitely have interesting shapes and textures.]

Week 2 Photos

In the photographs above, I was working extremely close to the object in question and I had my camera set on auto so that I could concentrate on staying still and keeping the object in focus. I was able to focus my camera better in the first shot, but I like the slightly blurred effect of the second photo. [It makes me think of the satellite pictures of a hurricane.]
