Experiment

PLEASE: View On Black

 

I am just starting to teach myself some Macro Photography. Guess what? Just like everything else about photography... it is not as easy as it looks! Nowhere near as easy as some people on Flickr would make it seam. This is actually a test of my 'Macro Studio" I built myself. I'll post a picture of that later I am sure, but basically its a large detergent box, cut open, with a large piece of white construction paper / poster paper taped to it with a large 'curve', to it, so there are no edges to be seen (notice, no edges you can see?). I got the idea watching some 'How to' macro videos on You Tube earlier. This is not a great image I know, but I LOVE anything colorful, and this is very special to me in that my experiment worked! This 'Macro Studio' was a complete success and I plan to use it frequently as I learn more about Macro shooting. I am certain to post a picture of this thing I built. It is so simple anyone can (and should) do it. I am going to bring home some black poster paper tomorrow for different shoots with different subjects...
