Macro Project

Some of the photos that I took were outside in my front yard. Those ones I was set on taking  pictures for this project and I really like how they turned out. However, some of the other pictures I took inside I wasn't even thinking of this project and then I looked back at them and they were perfect for this project. A couple of the pictures I was actually doing homework and got distracted and ended up taking pictures just because I was bored with math and history. I am over all pleased with the way that my pictures turned out.
