Macro photography rule

Lead: Many of the works we have sent are macro-shot animals or landscapes. Here's how to take macro photos. Macro photography emphasizes the details, shape and texture of the subject, which is a very unique type of photography. In this photo album, you can learn about the factors that make a wonderful macro photography work, and get some suggestions on how to turn your photos into eye-catching photography work.

Shooting suggestion-1: Macro photography is magnification photography, which can enlarge the size of the object in the photo from half of the physical size to about five times.

Shooting suggestion -2: The general principle is to use an aperture not larger than f/ 16, so that all or most of the subject is within the depth of field. When the subjects can't all be arranged on the same plane, you need to decide which part to focus on.

Shooting suggestion-3: Try a large aperture, which can put most subjects out of the depth of field and produce satisfactory artistic effects.

These are dandelion seeds. Trying to shoot dandelions in different ways made me have a pleasant afternoon. With a pleasant breeze blowing, I finally took this satisfactory photo. The subject, scenery and light come from nature completely.

Shooting suggestion -4: It is essential to use shallow depth of field in macro photography. Because the background is completely out of the depth of field, it often produces satisfactory results, and you can arrange the shooting scene very naturally. Although you don't have to consider the background, don't forget to check whether there are other elements that will distract the audience or cause disharmony.

Shooting suggestion -5: The close-up is a flat, filter-like attachment. It is installed in front of the ordinary lens so that you can focus more closely. Although the maximum magnification depends on the focal length of the lens, you can focus from a closer distance.

Shooting suggestion -6: It is challenging to shoot flowers, leaves and outdoor insects. A breeze can ruin a perfect work. The jitter and blur of the object must be eliminated. Before shooting, try to stick a stick in the ground, and then fix the plants to be photographed on the stick to keep still. When shooting, you should use the fastest shutter speed. If you shoot with a small aperture, you need to use a ring flash or flash.

Shooting suggestion -7: A stable tripod is a must. You have two choices: buy a tripod, whose legs can be opened to the maximum angle and can be extended to a lower position; Or buy a tripod with an inverted central axis and hang the camera face down at the bottom.

Shooting suggestion -8: If you shoot outdoors, bright weather will make macro photos very effective because you don't have to use slow shutter speed. Cloudy but bright weather is especially suitable for macro photography, because the light shining on the subject is very uniform at this time.
