Well, I have to say this weeks assignment was both fun and difficult at the same time. I LOVE flowers, especially Gerber daisies so being able to get up close and personal with some Gerber daisies was great. From my left over bouquet of Valentine flowers, I also photographed some roses and other flowers (see series in fotothing) and found it difficult, even with the macro setting, to get a good focus on some of the flowers that close up. But I was able to come out with some good shots.I
played around with other things to photograph close up; paper clips, tacks, a mix of the two, q-tips (the q-tips were too white to get a good focus on). I liked how this pile of paper clips and tacks looked as a black and white image with a focal point on some of the colored tacks.

Good Maria,
The key to getting a good sharp image in Macro Mode is to check with your camera manual and see what distance the camera is able to work with... there is a minimum distance all cameras have and if you get closer, it won't be sharp, no matter what. The other issue is holding the camera still and not jarring it when the shutter is released. I like how close you are...
