How to take macro photos?

Macro photography emphasizes the details, shape and texture of the subject, which is a very unique photography technique. Now, you can learn about the factors that make a wonderful macro photography through this atlas in this article, and get some suggestions on how to turn your photos into eye-catching photography. Photography: In this work, John King Buller captured the complex details of a bee and a flower with a macro lens and a pair of soft flashlights. Shooting suggestion: 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. Photography: ladybugs on the daisies of Jon Dukamp. Shooting suggestion: The general principle is to use an aperture not greater 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. Photo: Michelle Sutton 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: Try a large aperture, which can put most subjects out of the depth of field and produce satisfactory artistic effects. Photography: Mini-car model at Peter Martin's ball. Shooting suggestion: it is essential to use shallow depth of field when shooting at macro. 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. Photography: Paul Sutherland, the eyes of parrot fish. Shooting suggestion: shoot from an unexpected angle and get creative macro photos. Try to use different light, enhance the color saturation of the subject with smooth light, and emphasize the texture with side light. Photo: An ordinary European bee is collecting honey in Buller, John King. Take a photo as big as a real bee with Canon MPE-65mm macro lens. Shooting suggestion: When there is a point of interest in the picture and it is in the right position, then this macro photo will be very successful. Choose a simple background to avoid competing with the main body and distracting the audience. Photography: Ivan Nava How important and fragile the biological species around us are. Shooting suggestion: 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. Photo: John Troiani's leather-winged beetles often patronize my marigold. I took this photo with Nikon D80 and Sigma 150 mm macro lens. They kept climbing, but this guy stayed there motionless and made a beautiful gesture to me. Shooting suggestion: 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. Photo: Flying insects in jervis MunSingapore Admiralty Park. Shooting suggestion: 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. Photography: Terry Bridges went out this afternoon to see what plants were "awake", not many, but Euphorbia humilis showed a beautiful reddish-brown color at the end of winter. Here are some suggestions for taking macro photos of wonderful plants. Shooting suggestion: If shooting outdoors, bright weather will make macro photos very effective, because there is no need to use a 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. Photography: Maneesh Kaul, a black spider. Shooting suggestion: it is unrealistic to use the built-in flash of the camera when shooting at macro. Whether there are other macro accessories or not, the lens will block some light and produce shadows. One solution is to use an external flash. The best external flash lamp is the one whose lamp cap can be rotated and lifted. Photography: Ankit Mavchi This photo was taken in one night. When I was reading my notes, I suddenly saw this bug lying on one of my notebooks. As usual, the camera (Canon A470) is beside me. So I wait for it to go to the best position. Finally, it reached the best location for shooting and flew away after I finished shooting. Shooting suggestion: If you find insects or other small creatures that can be approached, start shooting immediately. When taking macro photos-especially moving objects-you need to be fully prepared. Make sure your camera settings are correct, because you may only have one lens. Photography: Peter Racz is a Chinese Pulsatilla covered with dew. Shooting suggestion: autofocus does not always work effectively when shooting at close range. You can get clearer macro photos by using manual focusing. (Source: Sheyuan)
