What key composition elements are essential to shooting macro shots?

What can the “above” perspective do to a subject? What can the “below” perspective do?


How do perspective and balance affect the composition of a shot?

title-wicked trolls

keen of smell
dull of sight
in the cold
they stalk the night.

eyes so small
mouth so wide
sharp the tooth
and thick the hide.

nails like spades
to dig their holes.

keep thou safe
from wicked trolls.

No warmth

No sun

No friends

No one

can keep thou safe
from wicked trolls.

Not to glorify the deaths they caused, merely to discuss their impacts on the world.

Can anyone even hold a candle to Alexander?

does it count as a poem? and it doesn't rhyme.

title-i am what i am

I am as old as air,

new as a baby's breath.

i am a prison.

i am the key.

i am the knife that cuts,

the salve that heals.

i am a weapon.

i am a gesture of peace.

i am longed for and hated,

cursed and loved,

sought and despised.

more lies are told in my name

than there are birds in the air.

i bring pain and i bring relief.

i bring sorrow and i bring joy.

i am what i am.

A kiss is just a kiss,
A flash of flesh...
Lingers,
Hungers...Hungers...
And makes us wait.

A kiss is just a kiss,
The touch of another,
Sets us free,
Just for a moment,
And leaves us in chains.

A kiss is just a kiss,
Sunrise delicate,
Haunts our memories,
When it was wrong...
And when it was not right...

But perfect.

A kiss is just a kiss.

Aryan looked at them, two boys both bathed in blood. The two males leaned on one another, smiling with red toothed grins. "Where is she?" He asked for almost the hundredth time. The taller of the two shifted away and yawned, growing tired of their hoax.
"Why do you automatically assume it was female, or human for that matter? Who's to say that the blood did not come from us?" Aryan grinned and turned to leave.
Xander, the one who had rid them of their pest, pressed a kiss to the other boys’ bloody cheek. "Want to shower with me, or would you prefer to be alone tonight?" he inquired softly. The other sixteen year old yawned casually and looked over at the clock standing alone in the corner of their manor.
"I think," He paused and exhaled, "I want to be alone and then we'll just lay for a while after that, maybe watch some old flicks." he said standing.
"Hey, age before beauty." Xander laughed, shoving Jacobe lightly into the couch and brushing past him.

I once invited a couple to join me for dinner at a local restaurant. It was a couple with whom I been aquainted for some time but we had never, as couples, gone out together.

At the end of the meal I took the check from the waitress and prepared to pay it. My guest, expectedly, argued with me about who should pay. I insisted, stating that it was I who invited them to dinner. The debate became, not angry, but vigerous. I won and paid the $100 bill.

It seems to have ended our friendship. They never called us and never reciprocated in any way.

So let's see, I paid and they got mad. Go figure. So, was I out of line to pay the bill.

Nothing was pre-arranged about payment of the bill. I just felt it my duty, as the invitor, to pay the bill.

Huxley has been hailed as a genius. Why is Huxley's statement "the more you see the more you know" so important? Do you agree with the statement?

What was the Cold war?

What was the Vietnam war?

Do we support our friends who had stood with us during those two wars? NO, we lock up their leader for trying to free his people from the communist in Laos (Hmong Lead).

Yes, we did used airplanes to drop rice to villages to recruit kids so Cheney could continued to get his war deferments

Yes, we did paid these kids $2/month to died in Vietnam

but Big Deal!! This is the USA = ***** up
