PROJECT #4: CLOSE-UP (Macro)

DUE: 20 photographs brought to class on Friday, Oct 12 for B Day classes, and Monday, Oct  15 for A Day classes.  10 images digitally processed and posted to your blog by Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 3:30pm. 


Macro photography refers to photographs made with a lens that allows the photographer extreme close-ups.  It is an image where the subject on the negative or image sensor is life size or greater. If it is recorded life size on the negative/sensor we refer to that ratio of as "1:1".

For our purposes - and since I don't necessarily want you to purchase a specialized macro lens - we'll call this project close-up photography. 





This is the symbol that denotes close-up/macro mode on point-and-shoot cameras.
