4. Yearbook shots: 15 top quality shots, edited within your topic of choice. See link to class subjects chosen.
5. Macro shots:The macro shots are not traditional macros but rather close-ups. I want you to try to look at ordinary everyday objects in an extraordinary way. Play with camera angles, be very aware of your backgrounds. This might be a good time to try using manual focus on your camera slowing down the process of taking pictures just a little.
