Photography assignment: macro

[Leanna Lofte]

It's time for our 3rd assignment - macros!

There?s nothing like getting up close and personal, and that holds true for photography, even iPhoneography. Life is full of small, interesting things ? a flower, an insect, your newborn?s tiny toes ? and these things make for great photography.

This week?s iPhone photography project is, you guessed it ? macro! Macro simply means close-up photography ? not zoomed, but the lens being physically close to the subject. The keys to good macro photography, even on an iPhone, are becoming familiar with the focus distance of your lens and nailing that focus, light, composition, and making your subject stand out.

Taken with my old iPhone 4 about a year and a half ago

Shifter of my Mazdaspeed 3, use it on my lockscreen. Looks great on the 4/4s screen

Here are a couple of my personal favorites. I got a little close on some of them, but they still came out pretty decently.

I'm still amazed at the detail the iPhone 4 can get in good light, took this one of a Bee who was nice not to sting me..

Love all of them! Great work everyone!

Just took this one earlier... I was insanely impressed with it. I got extremely lucky, cause I couldn't exactly see what I was doing when I took it. Lol.

This one is completely untouched, no auto enhance or anything of the sort. Just pure naked iPhone goodness.

Took these today.
