This was a project that I did during class just for fun. I used a macro lens so I could get close up and a 580 flash. The hardest part of these pictures in my opinion was the set up. We had to get an easel, poster board, a hairdryer, and crayons. It was a little scary taking these pictures just because the wax from the crayons was kind of shooting out and I didn't want it to get on the camera. Anyway, I loved taking these pictures because of all the bright colors and it was just fun watching the wax drip and mix with the other colors as well. The only changes I made to these pictures were cropping them, bumping up the exposure a little bit, and bringing up the vibrance to really make the colors pop.
