29. Macro photography

Macro photography is just what it sounds like: the photography of objects with extreme close-ups, usually small items or creatures. Your photography subjects do not always have to be living beings. To produce a beautiful or aesthetically pleasing picture, you do not even need context - our eyes are often drawn in by beautiful colors, and strong backgrounds no matter what.

If you want to take a soap film photo, here's a quick trick. First, mix the liquid soap with glycerin, the result will make the bubbly last long enough to take multiple shots. If you need something to agitate the soap, try using a wire or some yarn string. Other items you need would be some black fabric to act as a background and a macro lens with a minimum of 100mm. You will also need to be north-lit and angle your camera at approximately 45 degrees.
