Assignment 1: Macro Flower Pictures
Time is up, drivers start your engines shooters post your pictures.
Canon 400D (Rebel XTi) with Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact macro
(1/1600th @ f/8, ISO 400, 5600K)
I felt that the first shot was the strogest out of the set of 22 that I shot. Especially when cropped to the square format that it’s presented in.

This second shot I liked for the contrast that I felt existed in the subject being a flower but having the likeness of a tree.
As I said, I shot 22 frames on this shoot, with 2 frames being “keepers” for a total success ratio of 0.9% (Of the 22 frames all were sound in terms of exposure and focus). For me this assignment was successful.
McBaine (blog linked in links section) also participated in this little adventure. His entry about his experiance is here, and his images are here. Of the 6 frames he posted I felt his traditional shot of a rose was the best.
