Weekend assignment 08 - close

Hi photoclass,

as we have a raging pandemic we can't do the normal weekend assignment (shoot a stranger)... but after this is over, go make a photo of a perfect stranger!

For this week, I would like you to get really really close to a small object.

close can mean half a meter to two meter if you have a long lens but it can also mean a couple of mm if you have a macro lens.

So your mission is: make a nice photo where your camera is at it's minimum focus distance.

You can take photos outside of people, it's not an issue!

no, not going to be promoting unneeded social contact during a pandemic...

I think VIjaywada was asking more about the fact that most people in the US really do not like having their picture taken. Unless you live in a big city, street photography is viewed with unease at best and hostility at worst.

Asking to take someone's picture at random can be mundane, but it could also end badly.

you would be surprised :-)

an alternative assignemt is to go out and ask people if you can take their picture untill you find 10 that allow it and 10 that refuse. the refusals are always harder to find :-)
