Macro photography - the world up close and personal! |
{Photography.25.1}: Which Hazel? {hazel2} Tue, 05 Aug 2003 15:36:58 CDT (4 lines)
Macro photographs can be a window to a world we often miss. Shooting ultra close up can also present its own set of hair-pulling challenges! This is a topic to share your close up views of things, and to talk about how to make these kinds of photos even better.

'Tis. What lighting did you use there, Which? (that query could be construed as the start of a "Who's on first?" sort of exchange...)

Oh Lord, that's a good one. It looks like glass or melting ice. And the way the light hits it... Mmmmmm.... Wow!

We've been at Point Reyes a few times when zillions of those guys washed up on the
beach. I like this look at them.

Gorgeous. Close-up but NOT macro at all. I took a very dull picture of a cedar tree with an Iris in front of it, discovered that if I played with it a while, blew up into individual pixels I got lots and lots of figures and faces. Here's one: "http://groups.msn.com/ap615/spring2003.msnw? action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=254"

Amanda, that's a neat color combination and effect in that photo. Is there any way we can see it larger? Thanks for the comments! These little jellyfish came from McClure's Beach, in Pt. Reyes. I brought them home and put them in a glass pieplate with a little water so they wouldn't dry out. Put the pieplate on a black surface so the textures in the transparency would show up. (They're clear, like a fresnel lens with a handblown glass sail!). Shot them in the afternoon sunlight, which was coming from the left side and sort of behind me a little, and low in the sky.

I sailed through huge patches of those jellyfish last month. I enjoy the extreme close-up view of them! Thanks.

Hazel, your work is impressive.

i love that poppy photo, hazel. the colors are great and the repeated forms in the background are very cool. one of the things i like abt macro photography is the mysterious backgrounds that appear out of the blur, looming forms and echos.

Larger tree spirit? Sure. contrasted it a bit (maybe too much), then added a bunch of pixels. "http://groups.msn.com/ap615/spring2003.msnw? action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=255" (although if it's easy for you to do the simplest way is to save it to your pictures file and open the silly thing in your editing program--in general, not just for this picture--and then you can change colors, add grafitti, and so on)

thanks Kai. actually that was all lower case letters. the font i used uses the same design for lower and upper case, only a size difference.

That's beautiful, Stu.

oooooo, more fungus! Geez, that looks like it belongs on some other planet, Stu. Verrry nice! I love that out of focus chartrusey green area with that hot salmon orange. (Been out of town for a few days; thanks all for the nice comments about my earlier poppy bud pic!)

You northerners get most of the great lichen! :-)

Stopping by later, adding my "wow!"s to all. Love the macro stuff. I hope to have a decent shot of some Indian pipes from yesterday, but have to wait till the roll is finished. No digital here. Amanda, I love the tree spirit! Knew they had to be in there somewhere. ;)

Words to go whith the lichen pic To the east of the S2dio is an area of exposed rock, a ledge, on which grows a garden of lichen. That photo was taken there. Around here taking such a picture can be an ordeal, stretched out full length on the ground like a mosquito buffet peering into my camera.
