Assignment 2/ Genre Examples / MACRO FINE ART
Fine Art Macro Photography
Moving in close is one of the most important guidelines in helping to improve your photography. But most cameras can't get you any closer than about two feet of your subject. Being able to move in extra close, even to a few inches, will open up whole new horizons for you. The world of close-up photography is exciting and rewarding and you will see things you never noticed before.
Close-up photography will take the ordinary and transform it into something beautiful. A single drop of morning dew clinging to the underside of a blade of grass, the delicate intimacy of a flower or leaf, a details of peeling paint on an old barn…all can become magnificent portrayals of mood and sensitivity.
This is one of my secondary interests that I love to do when photographing the most common items and making them uncommon when I am finished. Below are some examples of photography that I find interesting in this genre, also inspire me to create art out of my images.

In these 2 photos very shallow depth of field is used with natural light

Jane Thomas
These 2 are probably more in focus, longer shutter shutter speeds, back lighting used
