FergusonMacro Emphasis
For my macro photography I decided to focus upon textural emphasis. I placed multiple unlit matches into a small square of foam and placed a single burnt match among the rest of said matches. I placed a light blue pillow behind the foam block, used the natural sunlight to light the image, got up close, and shot the image. Within Photoshop, I brought down the saturation of the blue within the pillow and turned up the clarity to enhance the texture of the burnt match to the other various smooth textured matches besides it. If I could go back and redo my image, I would like to get all the matches in focus rather than having the ones in the background faded out. I would also like to show more of the smooth grain upon the unlit matches to enhance the textural emphasis on the burnt match.
