Macro Photography

Macro Photography can consist of anything that is taken within a close range to the subject. So, more simply said it is just close up photography. I found this project to be very fun for me because I love macro photography and have gotten close to buying a macro lens many times. This first picture has a story behind it. I was huddling under a tree because of the rain, so I decided to take pictures of the bark of the tree. I was just taking pictures to take pictures then I saw them; at least thirty ladybugs were just sitting on this tree. I would have totally missed them if I was just taking pictures like I normally do. 

I love this shot because of the framing of the center of interest, which is the rain drop.  The fall colors make taking pictures even more enjoyable for me. The rainy and cloudy days are my favorite time to take pictures because the colors that come out are so brilliant!

All the photos in this particular post are without editing. The colors are true. The contrast of the green and red in this picture make it one of my favorite shots I have ever taken. (The raindrops are just an added bonus!)
