Macro Image Bank

This is an image which displays macro technique. The object in this image is a cherry which appears to have been put in water so there is water bubbles all around it, this makes an intriguing image because of the angle of the cherry, how is it sat so perfectly? Additionally this image shows a variety of bubble sizes which wouldn't be clear if take on an ordinary lens such as the one I own. 

This is an image which is very similar to an image which I took last year of someones else. Macro photography is a really good way of capturing features such as eyes. Furthermore, this image clearly shows the distortion side of macro photography, the eye is in focus but as the photo pans out, it becomes more distorted, this is a good way of using macro photography because it gives the audience one clear object to pay attention to- in this case the eye.

This is a beautiful image which conveys the macro technique because it shows a perfectly shaped snowflake. Much like the image above, this photographer has used distortion to show the main object- the snowflake. The way this is taken is truly breathtaking because this photographer has captured very well the sharp detailing of a snowflake whilst positioning off center so we can see snow in the background, yet it is distorted/out of focus, so it appears very bright and shiny.

This is a good image which suits my independent project because I hope to be doing photographs on smoking and this shows a more glamorous side- the flames and sparks. This image would have been taken with a very fast shutter speed to capture this image the way the photographer has done.

A dragonfly with water on. I haven't actually seen an image like this because researching this technique and I think it's actually really beautiful because it shows the fine detailing of the water around the insects body. The photographer has also centered this subject which is very intriguing because it appears to be very still- to capture this image, the photographer again would have had to have a very fast shutter speed so no movement of the insect would have been picked up.

This is a final image which I have chosen to display the macro technique because again it is very similar to an image which I took last year. This technique as displayed by some of these images in this blog post, can be used to form a shallow/narrow depth of field because the foreground object/subject is very sharp and even though we can still work out the background, it isn't as dominate as the front standing item.
