April Photo Assignment

Posted by grimo1re on April 2, 2008 at 1:13am in Beginners Group

Now that was an interesting Easter: we had snow here in Holland! Anyway, I'm starting to get into a Spring mood so it's time for nature. We'll stick with close-ups though, the assignment is to shoot nature macros. I'm hoping to see lots of delicate Spring photos from peeps in the Northern hemisphere and lots of autumn shots from our antipodean members in the Southern hemisphere.

To get in the mood and remind yourself of how it's done, here are some resources:

Having Fun With Macro Photography

Get Up Close with Floral Photography

How to Photograph Mushrooms, Toadstools and Fungi

Insect Macro Photography

And the same as last time: tell us how you planned and executed the assignment so we can all learn from each other's experiences.

Have fun!

I hope I am doing this right. The photos I am adding are straight from my camera. The colors were that vibrant in the sun. I appreciate all comments and constructive criticism, its how I will learn best.
