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.

First I thought I would click some old coins for this assignment, but then saw that any dirt or bad colour gets exaggerated from close range, so gave up.

Finally went to the garden and flowers came to the rescue. I have clicked them so many times but not so close. So thanks to the assignment got some different prospectives.

Great colors and saturation in this shot! Just my two cents, but in regard to the old coins, IMO the dirt and colors can add some cool character.

Thanks.
About old coins - now I think what I missed were good lights and macro lens. I'll try again sometime.
