Macro Images


It might be a little long but
I figured you guys could just skip
along if it was too slow for you.
Hope you enjoy.

    Where does one fine the Macro Images program?

    I thought your combination of music and photo's

    was exotic and rather pleasing to watch that

    instilled a feeling of meditation.

    The song would be great in another setting,

    possibly, on a beach enjoying a picnic sunset

    in the company of a special person. Thanks for

    enlightening me to the song. Angela

  2. I really liked your take on the collage - a video collage is an entirely different sort of experience! Your photos were also very unique and interesting, I really want to know what some of them were actually of now!

  3. What I find is amazing , is how we all came up with such different images. I didn't think about turning my pics into a slide show. Nice pics and music.

    Thanks,

  4. This is a very fine example of going beyond the ordinary. Both in terms of the shots and the presentation. The music adds another dimension to the work as well.

    What great work! When you go Macro, there is suddenly and exponential number of subjects that are available to you now. When you take an average photo of a room, then you have the whole room captured. Time to move on. But when you take the time to focus in on the objects in the room, you have almost limitless possibilities.

  5. I really like your pictures and how you put your collage together with the music and in a video format. Very cool. I also like how some photos really make you think, while others are of simple things brought into a whole new light. Great job!!!

  6. I really like the angles that you picked out. I think thats a big part of the macro-life; is about not shooting things straight on. I didnt really realize that until I saw yours, and realized exactly how NOt macro mine is!

  7. LOL. I agree. I was just taking shots of close up objects, and the ground was wet...so I couldn't exactly get the angles that I wanted. Your slide was incredible! I love the music along with the pictures. It is almost mesmerizing to watch. I also wanted to try the video college idea, but wasn't sure if that was ok to use for this assignment! Maybe I will try it with the pictures that I already had posted. Also....yes...I am interested as to what some of your photos were. :)

  9. I think that these photos are really interesting and I love how you seem to really narrow in on objects that aren't always considered "pretty" or something that you would normally look close at, like the window latch, or the door knob. -Great work!

  10. First I would like to thank all of you for the wonderful feedback I have received. When I take a photo I just think of how I can make it my own. I either think of how can I shoot this shot to make it different or if I take this shot what could I do to it after to change it to make it mine. So thank you all again and...

  12. I discovered how to make a video on Picasa.
    I will be downloading Photo Shop soon. I guess it threw me off due to the fact you have "Macro Images" in the right hand corner of you blog. Macro is a derivative of the Greek word "small." I wonder if there is any correlation to why it is used in photography terms. I speak Greek as a second language and there are so many words that are connected to Greek words.

  13. Yeah, The word Macro is used Exactly because of the greek meaning. We use it to describe extreme close-ups to capture images of the small or Macro world.
