Photo Assignment 2, Macro

For my second Photo Assignment, I used my own camera to take pictures of various items around my house. I used a Macro/Close-Up Setting on my camera to get more detail into the pictures. It was kind of hard to find things to take pictures of, but after I had enough I uploaded them to Photoshop and edited a few to make them look better. I mostly just cropped them and used the Clone Tool to get rid of dust or other objects I didn't want in the picture. The best picture I took is pictured below.

The ISO of this picture is 800, the Fstop is f/3.1, and the Exposure is 1/3 seconds. I didn't use a flash when I took this picture either.




The hardest thing about this assignment was getting the camera to focus in enough on the object to see the detail but not make the photo very blurry. I'm also used to he school's cameras so using my camera again needed some getting used to. I had to be really patient with this assignment because there's a lot of camera settings you have to change and you have to make the photo look just right in the end.
