Always looking to learn something new, I took some baby steps into macro photography. I put an old hard drive on the desk, and illuminated it with a strong LED desk light. I used a tripod to stabilize the camera. I moved the hard drive around on the table to center the object of interest in front of the lens, in this case two cars waiting at a red light.
Macro photography has a very shallow depth of field, so I selected 100 ISO and aperture 10, and manually focused to the desired object. Sony's focus peaking really helps - you see yellow lines wherever the focus is.
I processed two RAW exposures into a balanced HDR photo to enhance the micro-contrast.
