I’m not sure if this is really for the macro section but thought it was the best category for it anyway. I was bored at home in the rain one evening and started taking shots with the camera of various things around the house and decided to try a shot of a medal. It’s a Munster Hurling Medal…I’m kinda happy with how it came out but I’m not that happy even though I’m not sure of a way to improve it so much…I’m not great at the auld macro shots…
Hi Darran. I like the idea of this shot and it would possibly be the type of image which could be used in advertising for a GAA event. I think I would turn the ball a little more clockwise as some of it on the right hand side is lost in shadow. I also feel that softer lighting would help as the shadow below the medal is a bit strong and the detail in the medal is unevenly lit. I like the narrow depth of field as it helps the medal to stand out in the shot. Good shot
