Assignment 2: Macro

This assignment is all about taking close up pictures to show even the littlest detail in the photo. I used a lot of toy like things to take pictures of. I did a lot of zooming and adjusting the length I was away from the object. 

Best Photo:

ISO: 400

Aperture: f/4.5

Shutter speed: 1/60

 I really liked doing the macro assignment, because I like how you can really see the detail in the pictures. I learned to really take my time with taking pictures to get them just right.
