Macros/Close-up shots: For this assignment you are to get close up and see things from a different perspective. You need to look at the ordinary in an an extraordinary way. This might be an opportunity to try using manual focus so that you can be in control of the clarity of your shots. Lighting will be essential, shooting in natural outside light is best, but shooting in the light boxes will also work well. Setting up your shot will be important, so do not grab an object and shoot them all on the tables. Use the background cloths that are available and take the time to compose your shots. You should be aware that you are working with an 18-55 mm lens on the digital SLR cameras so the camera will only let you go 12-18 inches from your subject. Camera phones should work especially well for this assignment, but make sure your phones are set on the highest quality output.

You need to think about how you want to compose the shot. Try to get shots that are creative and different. You will EDIT in Photoshop or on a camera phone app. then post them up to Flickr in an album called MACROS. 10 SHOTS = 20 marks
