Good news! On Friday I ordered a Canon 50mm macro lens and it has already shipped! It should be arriving in the next few days. This new lens will def. help with my close up photos.
Wayne Enstice is on my Thesis Committee and he suggested that if I find that I can not reach the "A-ha" moment where the viewer realizes that what they are looking at is not what they originally thought, then I should introduce small recognizable objects withing the frame. For example, putting a penny or a paper clip somewhere in the frame. This idea almost reminds me of Where's Waldo puzzles but I think it's fun. I'm going to try this as soon as my new lens comes in.

I don't like the idea of the objects very much because it's too....I don't know blah. Do you want the viewer to recognize the space? I like not knowing. Because even when I know, then my brain tries to figure out exactly the scale and location.
ReplyDeletei agree. after our crit it didnt seem necessary. it would almost defeat the purpose.
