I really liked working on this assignment because with a tighter pull on the camera I noticed a lot of rich texture detail, which I found very interesting. I think ultimately as a journalist we have to be really careful with the shots we choose to use because as I went through the assignment I took a lot of images that are misleading to someone who can only see the image through the limits of the frame. I think we can get into a very tricky ethical dilemma by taking away the contextual information of an image through zooming. That being said I think that shooting tight can add so much drama, emotion, and even truth to an image and a story if it is used properly.
Here are some of my favorite shots from my shooting tight take. I was shooting with 55mm lens, I know that is not very tight, but it is the tightest lens I have so I did my best to make it work.

Close up of bridge plank: 1/160 f/9 ISO 200
Plant life portrait: 1/250 f/10 ISO 100
Interaction between the path and its walkers: 1/250 f/10 ISO 200
1/200 f/10 ISO 200
Sequence of a bug crawling: 1/250 f/11 ISO 200
