Week17 - Macro Photography
According to my lens, I should be capable of doing macro photography - so I decided I would test it out. I have found that I actually use the setting a lot, but just have never realized it was "macro". I decided to make my succulent my subject for this project since the texture on him is so unique.
What I like about macro photography is that you can really capture a specific place in the photo and create the remainder to feel like it's framing itself. In this case, the succulent itself is framing a branch or two - honing in on the rigid texture of it.
How can I apply this to my life? Well, sometimes I get frustrated with all of the interests I have and get overwhelmed. It's a constant struggle to determine "what is my dream job?" (which I ask myself every day). But, if I take the time to focus in on a passion of mine and use the other attributes about me (talents, skills, interests, experiences, etc.) to help shape that passion, it can really start to support itself. Using my own strengths to support myself instead of feeling that my interests are at random is a work-in-progress that I need to do each day.
