I appreciate that you took a class about macro-photography, but your photo of a 2-inch shell is actually a close-up photo.

If this were a true 1:1 macro, then the shell would be only 1/2-tall. I have used my macro lenses to take people portrait photos, photos of hummingbirds at a feeder, and shells in ocean tidepools. None of which are macros.

I look forward to seeing your images shot at minimal Working Distance. Ugly HedgeHog has a forum just for macro: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-102-1.html

We all have to start somewhere, WAY TO GO dishing out discouragement.

could and "should" be crisper - sharper - focus is critical with macro (esp) and these are not. One has to learn to see critical focus - how too see that takes time but hey ask the teacher.[/quote]

I may have lost some due to cropping. This is a better copy. I used diopters with a kit lens. I don't have a dedicated macro lens as yet.

The second one looks much nicer. Again, uncluttered background.

I attended a Macro class with my local photography club. I have a large collection of seashells, so I used some of my shells for the class. This is one of the photo I took in the class.

Thank you rain girl. I am learning ways to save photos that would otherwise be destined for the delete button.

This works pretty well. If you have Photoshop, go play with the filter gallery. There are numerous effects which can make it more painting-like. And they're fun to play with. ;)


Thank you RMM

This wasn't the greatest photo when I took it, I only had a 18-55mm lens at the time. So I cropped it and edited it to look more like a painting. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I agree. Everyone has their own style. If I try to copy someone elses style, it wouldn't be my style, it would be theirs.
