I now know some things about photography that I wouldn't have understood just watching someone take a shot like that. :) Thanks! <br /><br />As for the image...I was first thinkin' m&ms, but they're too well-rounded. M's always have malformations. I don't remember much about smarties, but if that's what Terry says...I'll go along! ;) He sounds pretty confident...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1102608654949471432004-12-09T11:10:00.000-05:002004-12-09T11:10:00.000-05:00Those are Christmas Smarties.

The things that go through my head as I compose a shot are similar to the experience of writing something. Only the tools and techniques are changed.<br /><br />Agreed about flash. At such close range, it's difficult to control. A specialized ring flash would work better, but that would defeat the purpose of working with what's already there. This particular picture was shot beside a glass patio door at breakfast-time.<br /><br />You've motivated me to start considering my next set of macro subjects. Fun stuff!carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1102596240922223732004-12-09T07:44:00.000-05:002004-12-09T07:44:00.000-05:00Look like red and yellow M+Ms to me.
Suggestions?...Look like red and yellow M+Ms to me.<br /><br />Suggestions? I haven't done a ton of macro stuff, but I know that people that do use flashes that will give you a suntan at 50 paces.<br /><br />Personally, though, I prefer not to use flash. I like found light, and I like the meandering carefulness that setting up a shot takes. It's the process that's enjoyable, not the final result. Or not exclusively the final result, anyway.<br /><br />So my advice is to enjoy the process.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023986850397045322noreply@blogger.com
