\A/ednesday: "Home garden"
Rich color variations. Amazing natural patterns.
Flowers are the supreme subject of macro shooting,
and the ideal way to learn the basics of macro techniques.
Only the close-up power of micro photography is really capable of
revealing the tiniest details of petals, pistil, and stamens.
Try using a colorful blurred background or a hazy dreamlike foreground
to bring out the reality of this micro-scale world.
For instance, use an atomizer to create a fine mist that
resembles tiny drops of dew, bringing vivid freshness to
plants. Or, create an instant reflector by attaching a little
wrinkled aluminum foil (using the darker, duller back side)
to a piece of cardboard. Then take a little time to find the
best angle for brightest illumination.
