TILT-UP SHOT: Media Arts Photography

tilt is a vertical camera movement in which the camera points up or down from a stationary location. For example, if you mount a camera on your shoulder and nod it up and down, you are tilting the camera.

My media arts students had to position the camera on the ground and tilt it up to 45 - 90 degrees angle to make small subjects appear big or tall.







The Use of Macro in Cameras: Foliage Photography

Taking an extreme focus on the leaves of the flowers was challenging to my media arts students. Everytime they zoomed to obtain a very close shot, the photos' sharpness sagged and their blurry pictures puzzled them. 

The foliage photography taught them about the use of MACRO in digital cameras. A macro setting changes the focus of the camera so it can focus on very close objects. The macro setting is for photographing objects  within a few inches or feet away. The tulip icon in cameras is a symbol for macro.

Below are some of the photos produced by my students using the macro setting.
