What is microphotography?

That is, "macro photography" means shooting at a relatively close distance with a large magnification, which can enlarge the size of the object in the photo from 1: 1 to about 5- 10 times. Macro photography emphasizes the details, shape and texture of the subject, which is a very unique type of photography. As a general principle, we should use an aperture not greater than f/ 16, so that all or most of the subjects are within the depth of field. When the subjects can't all be arranged on the same plane, it is necessary to decide which part to focus on. On the other hand, you can also try a large aperture, which can put most subjects out of the depth of field and produce satisfactory artistic effects. Of course, there are auxiliary equipment such as ring flash, stable tripod and close-up lens.
