One photo a day, creating stick figures with a macro lens.

It is easy to be fascinated by Li Cheng's macro photography. The point is not that you see larger objects or finer parts through the macro lens, but the shallow, deep and soft background of the picture You can even soften all the objects in the picture into almost solid colors except those you want to express clearly. Then, it seems not difficult to create a photographic stick figure with a macro lens, as long as you find the right subject and scene. Technically speaking, the most important thing to shoot macro works is to control the depth of field with an appropriate aperture, so that the parts you want to express clearly are sharp enough, while the other parts should be fully softened. At this time, you can shoot some with different apertures, or you can observe it through the preview function of depth of field.

The picture above shows a bug hidden in a flower heart. The opposite light only makes the flowers appear transparent, and the bug itself is almost a silhouette. In addition, the tentacles and forelegs of this bug are very thin, which makes the whole photo look like a stick figure drawn on a yellow background. When the appropriate aperture is determined, to achieve the moderate effect of virtual reality, it is necessary to shoot immediately and shoot as much as possible. Because the bug won't wait for you, it may soon get tired, change its shape and even slip away. As for composition, you can guarantee to shoot first and then cut it out.
