Photography 101:Scale & Observation — March 24, 2016

Photography 101:Scale & Observation

 

Frosty leaf

Today is all about scale and observation for Photography 101.

Now at the moment, I am still using my phone as my camera, but Mr Grump bought me a couple of little lenses that clip on to the phone over the camera to create different effects.

The one I used here is the micro lens and it is a photo of a frosty leaf taken early one morning.

In close up, it is interesting to see the little ice crystals scattered around the leaf, not all in one lump as it appears in normal vision. I love the indentations and lines on the leaf as well.

It is difficult for me to keep a steady hand at the best of times, but with the phone (especially with a phone case), it is tricky, hence the blurry bits around the outside of the pic!

Photography 101:Natural World & Leading Lines

Today for our photography challenge, we are to go outdoors to the natural world and photograph something. It can be large or small. Whilst we are taking the photo, it is suggested that we look at the lines of the object.

I chose to take a close-up photo of a potted rose plant that Mr Grump bought me ages ago. It is outside at the moment and although parts of it are brown, it has a few of these tiny little leaves poking through the soil. I liked the pink tips of the leaves and their zig-zagged shape
