What do you need for macro shooting?

1, the landlord asked: Is it necessary to use a flash for macro shooting and how to use it?

A: There are no clear rules for this question.

If the flash is used, the flash installed on the attachment seat of the fuselage is easily blocked by the lens, forming a big shadow at the bottom of the picture.

Ring flash or off-board flash can be considered.

2. The landlord asked: How much is the aperture generally used?

A: There is no certain rule. The key depends on the shooting intention of the landlord.

Generally speaking, when shooting macro photography, the depth of field is extremely shallow.

In order to increase the depth of field, the aperture should be minimized.

3. The landlord asked: What other photographic accessories are needed?

A: Well ... it still depends on the needs of the landlord.

Generally speaking, a fuselage and a macro lens will do.

(1) Because the depth of field of macro photography is extremely shallow, it is difficult to focus, so use a tripod.

(2) Because of the tripod, in order to avoid the vibration of the fuselage caused by pressing the shutter by hand, the shutter should be started by releasing the cable or the remote controller;

(3) Due to the deep scene and short shooting distance, accurate composition is needed. The choice of Yuntai is more particular, and the commonly used watches are more difficult to use. It is best to use a three-dimensional gearheads;

(4) The three-dimensional gear table can only realize the rotation of the fuselage, and it is better to have a translation table to make composition and focusing more convenient;

(5) Once you play macro deeply, when shooting many subjects, you will find that the magnification of the macro head is not enough, so you need to add a macro head that meets the requirements;

(6) Micro-head is a niche product, which is relatively expensive and cost-effective. Another option is a close-up loop. However, I personally feel that the close-up ring is relatively rigid to use, and it is best to enter the close-up leather cavity. If possible, try to choose a close-range leather cavity with electronic contacts;

(7) Macro photography, the shooting distance is very close, and lighting is a difficult problem. As I said before, you can use a ring flash. However, the light and shadow effect of the ring flash is extremely limited and too rigid. It is best to consider the off-board flash to facilitate light distribution. At this time, you need a flasher, when you buy it;

(8) Macro photography requires accessories for conventional photography.
