Getting Up Close

In this project, I had to take close up pictures of 5 things that are living and 5 objects. We had to switch the setting on the camera or phone to Macro so that the camera could know that we are trying to take close up pictures, and focus on the objects. What worked for me in this project was using an app called VSCO. VSCO had this feature to where you could make the photo focus on an object or person and blur out the rest of the photo and make you focus on one thing. Something that I never tried before is finding new ways to edit a photo on VSCO because you could change everything in the photo like the contrast, saturation the clarity and more. One challenge for me was trying to get close enough to make it focus and not blurry. Another challenge was finding objects to take pictures of and make sure it was interesting and not plain and boring. If I had the equipment, time and ability to take a picture of something up close. I would take a picture of a busy road in New York city or a mountain. You can find the rest of my photos Here.
