What is it?

For our Macro class we had an assignment to photograph stuff that noone could tell what it was. This project took quite a bit of time looking for different types of objects around my house that I could photograph with a Macro lens and noone be able to tell what it is. The first image is a sausage ball, the second is a crouton from a caesar salad, and the third is my dog's dirty tennis ball. I used natural lighting and a 55mm lens. All three images are 1:1 ratios.

CLOGGIN' RATIOS.....

 1:1 F11@1/15

 1:2 F11@1/25

 1:3 F11@1/15

 1:4 F11@1/10

 1:5 F11@1/15

 1:6 F16@1/16

 1:7 F5.6@1/30

 1:8 F16@1/5

 1:9 F16@1/5

1:10 F16@1/5

Above is a series of different ratio shots. For our Macro class we had to shoot 10 shots, each one of the different ratios. I chose to shoot a old pair of my clogging shoes since clogging is such a big part of my life. I used my Nikon D60 along with a 60mm lens. I used two 750 lights and one Minnie light to light the shoes. The ISO was set at 200.

Bogey

Bogey is a French Bulldog. His mom is one of my good friends. Hes a great little dog and lights up a room when he enters. He's so full of personality and loves everyone. I shot these pictures with my Nikon D60 camera and 18-55mm lens.

1:1 ratio Leafs

 1:2 ratio Cedar

1:3 ratio Pushpins

 1:2 ratio Leafs

Here are a few images from our first Macro Assignment. The assignment was free range so we could get a feel for the equipment and just play around. All the images were shot with my Nikon D60 camera. The leafs and the Cedar were shot with a 105mm macro lens at around F8 @1/15. The pushpins were shot with a 55mm lens.
