MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY















NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE


This is my Negative photo that I developed, I added some darkness to it to bring out the black and whites and grays. 


This is my positive, I inverted the picture and then added some brightness to the picture to bring out the black grays and whites. I tried to make it not so blurry but it didn't work very well.
