Hershey's Kisses

This is a series I shot with my dedicated macro lens. This type of photography should ideally be shot with a tripod and slow shutter speed, a low ISO of 100, and a mid-sized aperture opening. The benefits of mid to upper range cameras is they allow you to have this type of flexibility to get the shot you want. 


This shot is a Hershey's Kiss peanut butter cookie. Yummy. 

This is obvious! you may notice I did not center the Hershey's Kiss in either of these photos. Perfectly centered objects can be boring. Placing them off center suddenly adds interest. On the bottom photo, I even ran the candy out of the pic a little. That can add interest too because you don't need to see the entire piece of candy to know what it is, thus causing your viewer to use their imagination. Try these pointers out! You will start bringing your pics to life.
