Close Up Self-Assesment

1. What lessons or experiences did you “synthesize and analyze” to come up with your original idea-- what was your assignment.
   
   - The assignment was to take 50 close up images, edit down to our best 10, then post our favorite 3 in the group event.
   
2. How did you evaluate your work, what were you looking to create for the assignment, and was this idea a good idea?  
   
   - I evaluated my work by looking at all of my images, and picking the ones that I thought looked the best, or most interesting. I also looked to make sure that the image was taken properly, and was a decent close up.
   
3. And what steps did you take to create your assignment?  
   
   - To create this assignment I had to learn how to make a "soft box" to put over my flash while taking mt pictures. Once I did that, I had to set my aperture (Av) to the smallest setting. My ISO had to be set, and so did my shutter speed. Then I got as close as I could to my subjects, and took my pictures.
   
4. What do you like best about your images? 
   
   - The thing I like best about my images is the simple beauty they capture. Taking a close up picture cuts out the (sometimes confusing or distracting) background, and allows you to get a new perspective of the subject.
   
5. Did you have trouble with some part of this assignment?  
   
   - I didn't really have any trouble with this assignment. Sometimes it was difficult to get my camera to focus, being so close to the subject, but that was about it.
   
6. How could you improve your image or process?
   - The next time I do a close up assignment or project, I am going to try to get a variety of subjects, instead of just flowers like I did this time.
