Friday March 8

I will be going onto Flickr on the weekend to do some marking of work. I will be looking for Headshots, Stilllife, Circles, and Concept shots. You are NOT expected to have Glacier or Macros completed.

New Assignment: Macros: 10 shots Your macros shots are close up shots of almost anything. Think about varying your shots and remember sometimes the most common object can look interesting  up close. The following is a link to some tips for taking good macros. And a few student examples of good macro shots.
