So today is Friday Shoot Out.
Theme-Macro shots suggested by JarieLyn
Well I finally found out how to take macro shots, at least I think I did.
Maybe someone more accomplished in photography can tell me which are and which are not, macro.
#1
#2
#3
#4
It is my understanding that if the item in the forefront is sharp, than the background should be blurry, in a true macro shot.

What about it pros?
Go here for Friday Shoot Out.
I have said several times that I love history.
My art teacher recommended a documentary about art that I watched today.
The Rape of Europa
It was about the plunder and stealing of art all across Europe by Hitler and the Nazi party.
I did not know this story.
This documentary is very sad but amazing.
And a great chance to see some of the most famous pieces of art that I did not know by name.
I had seen pictures of many of the pieces but did not know their history or the artists.

Great shots QMM.
That door handle is so unique! I love eating chilli, the hotter the better.
Looks like you have mastered that new camera! I particularly like #6. Well done and may you have lots of fun with your new toy!
Love the old lamp (and I noticed the cones - so you managed to make it a seasonal one as well!)
Well, I can tell you which ones I like -- all of them. But I can't tell you which are macro. I think I'll have to research some to find out the difference between macro and close-up. And I'm glad that I'm not the only one confused by that.
What a wide variety of choices you decided to work with here, Peggy! I loved the very first picture of the succulent. It is a lovely, rich green hue, one that disappears from the garden after spring. And I am sure the squirrels in my garden would love those acorns! We are lacking oak trees here in my neck of the woods. Thank you for sharing these macro pics. I enjoyed my visit. =D
I like your Macro shots...that's something I've yet to try. I'm a little intimidated by it. I especially like your succulent plant and the acorns, but all of them look good to me.
Enjoy your weekend :-)
I like these assignments when we tackle a technique; it's fun to see how everybody views it. I like those acorns!
Nice collection of photos.
Is #3 a statue? I find that photo to be really interesting.
Oh hon..the acorns the acorns..to die for!! Wonderful shots!!
Hugs to you hon, Sarah
I thought they were all good Chillis is one of my favorites too.
I like them all but my fave is the lamp and the chilis door knobs. Also Chili's is one of my favorite restaurants too. Great job.
I am not an expert on macro at all. you did a great job!! the door handles and ceiling are very cool!!
the problem is this.... micro is small and macro is large. but in photography macro is taking close enough to have a 1:4 of actual size.... I have read an explanation at least 5 times and still don't understand. to do the macro shot the way the photo explanations are... you have to have a special closse-up 'microscope' like lens...but your close-ups are macro enough for me.
