Have you ever wondered at the beauty of bees sitting on a flower and dew drops on the grass early in the morning, then you're in good company. This form of photography enthusiasts and has a lot of this type of photography is called macro photography. Macro photography is a form of photography where the image scale is 1:1. This means that the object in the picture is the same size as on the ground. Usually in a regular photo subject is scaled down in size, but in macro mode item looks the same size as it is in nature.
Macro mode is a very fascinating way of photography, but it's pretty hard to perfect the genre. For a photo this way requires a special lens for him. This is because using regular lenses can not focus closer to 2-3 three inches. And to such extreme close-ups you will need to get nearby. So you need a special lens for that. common focal lengths used are 60mm and 100mm lenses. Apart from these there are some lenses telephoto lens capable of macro mode for extreme zoom, for example, Sigma 70-300mm telephoto lens I was able to macro photography at focal lengths above 200mm. However, this feature is useful to distant objects close-up photography as when I was shooting in the wild, it helps me to be an excellent close-ups of animals and birds in the forest. Unable to get extreme close-up nearby using this lens. So I prefer to use a specialized macro lens (My preferred lens for this purpose is the top 100mm Macro ).
Now here are some tips for producing excellent macro photography:
1 The best time to get this kind of photography, especially nature shots in the early morning hours. At this point lighting is perfect, the dew is still fresh and color reproduction is superb. So walk in the park early in the morning and you will find plenty of opportunity for a great macro shots.
2 Be very careful in the world around you, there is no requirement to wait for the big occasions, everyday life is filled with photo ops. patterns on the trunk or an ant carrying twice the weight of all the great photo shoots and try to catch them.
3 Pay attention to lighting. Since you will be shooting at very close distances, you may need to use flash. However, the use of flash can give a bluish tinge to photos or can lead to reflection so that if you use a polarizer. Alternatively, if it is possible to manipulate the position of the object (like stamp or coin), and then put it on a white background, to give a good dramatic effect.
4 great attention to the focus. If you do not focus properly then the whole gallery is destroyed. So, to pay great attention to this fact. Also keep in mind this fact that you have to keep a high shutter speed (I prefer 1 / 125 and above) and aperture (f/4.5 or f / 5.6) large. It is the blurring of the background and provide crystal clear images of items.
5 Since the macro lenses are expensive, you can use one of the close-up sets that are sold on the market. It is actually magnifying glasses of different strengths and drunk on their regular lenses. Although the picture quality is not very good, they're OK for a person on a limited budget as you will get this macro sets the price of one tenth of ordinary macro lens.
Macro photography is a very enjoyable form of photography and can become very addictive. In addition it can provide stunning results if done right.
