Macro Manual 1

I took these with the new Rebel set on M for Manual (M stands fro Mind Blowing)
 Trying to blur part of the photo and sharp on the other
 It seems while I am focusing on focusing I forget to COMPOSE the shot... Practice still needed

How did I do folks?

The last is my favourite. You seem to be going about it very systematically ;)

Well, the last pictures shows that it's almost nothing much, but all your other shots made it something extraordinary!! I'm guessing it was the angle and the camera. I was trying to guess what it was. It looks like a wood flower! That's right, it looks like wood growing out of a rosette of leaves!!! If this is your practice session, I can't WAIT till you start getting serious!!!

Ginny Hartzler said...

O.K. now that I look back at it, I can clearly see what it is and how you shot it, and it is a live leaf and a dead one, but it still looked like some kind of blooming petrified plant at first!

Doing good. I hope you are having fun as you learn to use this new 'toy'.

I think you're doing a marvelous job with the Manual setting. I usually forget at least one thing when using that setting. You're a quick learner, and I like these photos.

Rose said...

I think you are getting the hang of it!

I think you did splendid. Practicing is half the fun (sometimes) at least when it's not getting frustrating....lol

TexWisGirl said...

Angela said...

I think it looks super Sandra! Your ahead of me..I still have much to go through in my settings! There sharp to me and I really like your header in mono shot as well-

Pauline said...

I think you are doing great. That's an understatement from someone who just can't get the hang of depth of field. Manual terrifies me. Keep up the good work - I love it!
