For my brief, of which is based on landscapes and nature, I thought an interesting experiment/technique for which I should try, is Macro Photography, as I believe it will be something a little bit different. For these images, I use a macro lens adapter, which is 10x magnified. The subjects, in relation to my brief where natural, most of the subjects are objects from which I brought from home, to specifically use with the macro lens. For most of the images I used the light box instead of the studio, however for some of the images I was outside with natural light. Before I started, I quickly researched images of macro photography, looking at no one in particular but to just get a feel for the typical style of which I want to avoid. After, a few shots I become very comfortable with the lens adapter and my own style of macro photography, therefore as I already found a shutter speed and aperture of which gave me correctly exposed images there was not much to alter. However, I found that by changing the white balance, it changed the whole colour and atmosphere of the image, and therefore giving it a completely different feel. Also, as I had not previously altered the white balance, this gave me a good opportunity to become accustomed to these settings and a good chance to experiment with it.
I mainly used the pre-setting options of Incandescent, Direct Sunlight, Cloudy and Florescent White Balance. Each setting had a different outcome...
The effects that I prefer the most are Incandescent and Florescent, which are the majority of my final images...
