Details Details Details

When taking a picture, most people take them from the same angle and distance. By getting close and personal with your subject, you can create amazing images. The author of this book creates images with only using her iPhone, and shows that details can create very interesting and intriguing pictures. "Try to create an interesting image series by varying your distance and giving extra attention to important details." (Holmberg 76)

I used this tips by creating a type of macro shot with my camera. I also kind of cheated with my pictures and used a lens that lets your camera create macro shots, but it does connect to my iPhone. Using this lens as a cheat cheat, I was able to focus even more on details and blur out parts of my subject that were less important.

Using the tip "The truth is in the details" (Holmberg 76), I took pictures to focus on the details that most people dont pay attention to; I focused mainly on objects that you see in your everyday life but dont bother to take pictures of. Using different ways to take detailed pictures, I filled the frame and added depth into my pictures.

What type of picture should I take next? What suggestions do you have?
