Macro Skills

Using the Micro option on the Camera was very intresting. I learned many new intresting ways. To take a good picture using the macro option you have to take tons of pictures like you usually do, so atleast one pisture is the way that you want it to look like. For Macro you need to get very close to your object so you are about to touch it. To make the picture maybe look a little more intresting you should try and change the persepective of the picture or take it from far below or form far above.
On the Picture above you can see that i tried to take a picture of the intresting pattern which goes zig-zag. In between each zig-zag there is dirt. The dirt is clearly visible and it makes the picture look very niceand giving it this nice touch of nature.
The macro function makes yoube able to see things that you dont see with your bare eyes.
I have a camera at home and im sure i have the macro function on it because i see the "flower" icon alot but i never really knew what it was for. Now i know that i can use it to take intresting pictures from up close.
The Macro function shows many things which are really intresting, for example it really shows some outlines and bumps and dirt that we usually dont look at or notice when we look at the corner of a bench or a piece of wood.

Beach Picture

The night is lighter than it's hue, originally uploaded by f. prestes.

in this picture you can see that there is a bunch of people jumping up. This picture shows that the photgrapher had to most probably take tons of pictures to get one good one. This picture shoes that the rules are broken. no rule of thirds... no symetry.... no depth of field.

In this picture the sunlights come right through the window. The photographer of this picture took put the window at the side which makes it a little more intresting for the eye to look at. Its a really beautiful picture. This picture is an example of the Rule of Thirds

I really like this picture because the depth of this picture makes it intresting. The paint looks like it was just freshly used and the depth gives the picture a more intresting effect.

Digital Photgraphy

We learned how to make pictures look very professional. Yesterday we went out to take some fotos around our School. We learned how to use some tools on the camera that we never used before. I learned how to focus and reframe an object which makes it look better because the picture that you reframe and focus stand out a bit from all others around.

We learned what rule of thirds was. The rule of thirds is a chart which is split into 3 coloums and 3 rows. The rule of thirds is used to make the picture look prettier and proffesional. To use the tule of thirds you should try and make sure that the main object that you are focussing on one of the points. On the Picture above you can see that the tree is the main object but there are also two other objects in the picture. The tree is put up into the right hand corner.

We also learned that we have to take a lot of fotos because there is a higher chance that one foto is good if you take so many fotos. You should try and change the way you hold the camera or maybe put a slight tilt into it to make it look a bit more intresting. The more you experiment with your camera the more likely you wil have a picture that looks like you wan it.

To get a better picture you should maybe get closer to your object so you have a better view from it. Getting close can make your picture look prettier.
