Definition of Macro Photography

Assignment #6 Macro Photos and Slideshow: You are not expected to take true macros, however you do need to meet the following criteria.

Criteria for Macros: "A close up shot of an object." You must have a focal point, your photos must be in focus, have a clean background, use light appropriately and photos must be taken of interesting subject matter. You need to think about how you want to compose the shot.

12's : 10 shots plus your theme shoot
11's:  20 shots
First time in Photo: 15 shots
* 2 photos taken with the macro lens

To be marked out of 30, 20 marks for shots, 10 marks for slideshow. 
Assignment is due March 30.

All shots should be edited and  put into a slideshow set to music as well as put into an album on Flickr.
Camera phones can be used and will likely take good close-up photos, but make sure your subject matter is in focus. I would like everyone to have at least 2 photos taken using the macro lens.
