SodScrap Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Let's get up close and personal. I mean, your close up photos! Don't you just love seeing a great close up photo? Sometimes I feel we try to get so much in the photo that we lose sight of the main focus of the photo. Your challenge today is to create a layout using a close up photo(s). There are several ways to achieve close-ups. The most obvious is to zoom in close when taking the photo. I like using "portrait" mode on my cell phone for close-ups. Cropping in the post editing is another effective way to achieve close-ups. This is my favorite method as you can "crop out the clutter". What are your favorite tips and tricks to capture great close-ups? Please post your layout in the Newsletter Challenge Gallery and post a link back in this thread. Can't wait to see your close up photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Here’s mine:IU Gargoyle I pretty much left the close-up as is except to crop a little to fit in the frame. My usual hint for closeups is to..... Well, take the photo closeup! For some reason even as a younger kid when I took photos I was always very much aware of using the entire photo space and not leaving much extra background around it. (Diane, remember that great wedding photo? :D) Funny thing is, now that I'm a scrapper I have to sometimes remind myself to LEAVE extra/unwanted space around my subject so I have room for framing and cropping to fit on a page the way I want it to! My Mom always did tell me I did things backwards and chalked it up to being left-handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
