Trying Macro Photography | DP Week 3 - Post 2

This week's focus was mostly on macro photography, something I haven't tried before.

Macro photography is an extreme close-up photography.

In the Steve Byland Nature Photography blog, I read about this creative exercise:

Macro Photography: get your hands on a macro lens, grab the tripod, and plan on getting dirty. Every-day objects can look very cool when you shoot with a macro lens. An alternative to a macro lens is to add an extension tube to a longer lens to allow for close focus.

For this exercise, I used a macro lens for phone, and different subjects, and got these results.

This activity wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but it certainly was interesting. I look forward to trying new subjects and seeing what details I can capture.
