Oh boy, I remember when I first got my camera. I don't remember anymore what type of camera it was, it wasn't great for sure; but I love it. I remember spending hours to figure it out. Yeah, you could say I was too excited about it. Then one day I bumped into Macro mode. I didn't understand why the picture was turning out so smudged. I didn't realize that it was the mode in which the picture has to be taken from close-up. Well, I spent more and more trying to figure out how to work it. This are some pictures that I got out of it. I'm still working on my skills, of making good macro pictures. But since those day when I just got the camera, I've learned that in order to take a good picture in that mode you need to focus the camera very well. Keep holding the capture button until the image looks exactly the way you wanted it or at least something similar. Sometimes pictures still turn out bad, but it might also be because of the lighting. I always try to make sure that the lighting is good too. To make the pictures that I posted today I used the lamp, to make the light fall on the flowers to give it the special effect that they have. If you look at the photos you can see how the color varies, just like the contrast. There are so many different things with macro, you just have to play around with it. So have fun!
