The subject of my photo essay was nature. Most of these photographs were just taken around my house and the town next to me. (swansea). Nature photography is my favorite and I feel like its my strongest suit for me. I used the macro lens for the first six and the middle of the third row. The first photograph with the rose, i wanted the viewpoint to be the center and as the rose went on for it to be blurry. I also wanted to get the cob web in it. The second photo was from a tree outside my house. I tried making the viewpoint the peddles of the flower. The third photo is my favorite picture that I took. I wanted to make the center piece the middle of the flower and successfully did it. The next two photos were taken to be centered and also fish eyed. The tree picture was not macro lens, it was a regular camera lens but i liked the texture of the dead tree. The shell picture was taken off my iphone but it was very clear. My eye was taken on my iphone camera but also with a macro lens. I didnt know how bad my mascara was until now. The snail photo was taken off my camera with my regular lens. i wanted to get the background to show he is only on one step traveling slow but far. The last photograph was a telephone pole. Again with the tree it was taken so you can almost imagine how it feels against your finger tips.
