I cropped and changed the levels of this picture to add a dramatic effect!

I changed the levels of this picture and made it grayscale so the web would better stand out!















1st Photography Independent Study Project

Digital Macro Photography of Bugs and small creatures

      Butterflies and Moths

      Spiders

      Cicada

      Bees and Wasps

      Snails

      Crabs

Camera:  Digital slr Canon Rebel T2i

Lens: Canon EFS 18-55mm

I will be using Photoshop to edit some of the pictures. Some examples of things I may be doing with the pictures in Photoshop are…

      Converting pictures to Black and White

      Converting the background to Black and White, but leaving the focus of the image in color

      Adding  filters or hues to the image

      Lightening and darkening the image to add dimension and depth

 I will also be leaving some pictures unedited.

This way I will be able to work on my photographic skills. I’ll control the amount of light by controlling the, shutter speed, iso, and f-stop (I will be able to control these settings unless I use my camera’s Macro setting).

Oh the places I’ll go…

To find my photographic subjects I will go to different outside locations (unless I happen upon a bug or small creature indoors). I will mostly be using my front and backyard. I conveniently have a marsh in my backyard that has many subjects. I will also be going to local places like parks.

I enjoy Macro photography because the camera lens can pick up things that the human eye can’t always see.

Shamu!

I think the cicada looks like an alien here!

I know it is strange, but I love taking pictures of bugs!

The lighting here is really great!

I'd never seen this fish before

This is actully only 4 jellyfish. The other 4 you see above is the reflection!

I <3 Fenway Park!

I went to visit my Dad's side of the family up in New England. We went to the New England Aquarium, which is my favorite aquarium. The last day that we were there my parents and my aunt and uncle surprised us by taking us to a Red Sox game!
