Well, here i'll store my 30 day photo challenge. In this month of January, many members of Worth1000.com (obviously the ones that signed up) must take a photo every day. All the photos must be of a same theme. My theme for my first time is Macro. 30 macro photos, one per day. Hope i don't miss a day, or i'm out! :S
First phot will be today. This photo is of the door. Keep in mind i'm just a beginner
.
Tomorrow, other photo!
Oops, i just noticed it is in Spanish.

Hi WN! A keyhole is a good idea for your macro theme, and I like the composition too. In the spirit of Worth, I'll try to give you some suggestions :)
ResponderEliminarIt's pretty hard to take a flash photo of a metal surface without getting brightly glaring areas and harsh shadows. You could try turning the flash off and setting your camera on something stable (table, shelf or a tripod if you have one). You could then play around with lighting your doorknob with a flashlight or two, sort of painting the light on with a longer shutter time. Experiment! You might be surprised at the results :)
Welcome to your first 30 day challenge. May this be the first of many! Nice close up but as Lisa said - taking it without the flash would probably get a better result.
ResponderEliminarThanks for your tip Lisa :D
ResponderEliminarI'll take it in my next macro photos :)
Excellent choice of subject, but I agree that the flash highlights are nasty distractions. Natural light is sooooo the way to go, especially with macro, unless you have off-camera flash... Wait for the lovely morning or afternoon light...
ResponderEliminarnice start Nick!

I second what Lisa said :) Lovely rich brown colors of the knob and the background!
ResponderEliminarGood first shot. I agree with Hickchick's (Lisa) comment as well as kimbomac. Welcome to the 30-Day challenge. You'll be surprised how much you'll grow over the next month.
ResponderEliminarLove the doorknob. It makes my house's doorknobs look so boring. :) I love macro shots, am looking forward to more from you.
ResponderEliminarG'day Nick macros are harder then they look but it's about haveing fun and maybe learn a thing or two along the way :)
ResponderEliminarA nice start, looking forward to see how this progresses.

Thanks all for the comments
ResponderEliminarI like it, simple but to the point.
ResponderEliminarA hint, turn off your flash, and try natural light plus if you have a tripod, you can use that with your self timer. Pop in near your subject a lamp light - sometimes all you need is a bit of extra light.
Good luck!
