"What are YOU doing?" I like to try a variety of techniques while working on projects of this nature. Often I use my Canon M camera, it's mirror less and small, so it fits in my backpack or purse easily. I have it along more readily than my larger DSLR. I tried an approach called freelensing.
You remove the lens and hold it in front of the camera body, but it remains unattached. This extends the focal length of the lens a bit, and by manipulating the location of the lens you can adjust the point of focus. Like using an extension tube, you reduce the distance to the subject needed for focus. So, you can get even closer to the subject. It's a little tricky to get right. But, I enjoy trying.
I used the same approach to photograph a fresh chocolate cookie from the hotel lobby.
The thing about this project, it makes time seem to go even faster. We're already over half finished with January!
Keep checking back and we'll see how I do.
