Macro week continues! Click the picture above or the link here for the set from yesterday.

Macro Week, Day 2

New set of pictures up from yesterday's continuation of Macro Week. Please let me know what you think, both good and bad.

I'm also interested to hear what your photography goals are at the moment. Could be as simple as "I want to shoot at least one day a week." Could be something specific, like my mission to use my point n shoot's macro mode every day. Could even be a desire to get better at a certain type of photography or a specific technique. If you don't have one, make one and share it.

Macro Week, Day 1

© 2009 Simon Hucko

It's macro week! In case you missed the tail end of my post from yesterday, I gave myself the assignment of shooting with my point n shoot every day this week in macro mode, and posting the results. The above picture is my favorite from yesterday's outing. Click on the picture or the link here to see the whole set. Please feel free to leave feedback - tell what works and what doesn't. This is an experiment for me, so negative feedback is more than welcome (although I prefer constructive criticism - why you don't like it, not just that you don't, but if you can't articulate it that's ok).

My goal for next week will be to explore different aspect ratios in my photos. My D70 shoots in a 2x3 ratio, so that's what I've been working in lately. My point n shoot, however, shoots 3x4, which has a different feeling to it. I really notice it with the verticals - they don't feel as tall. I've been intrigued by some square photos lately, too, and thought the above photo really worked as a square. I'll try to get the original online tonight for comparison.

What's your photography goal for the week?
