How do beginners shoot macro?

Speaking of macro, many photographers are now taking pictures, taking pictures of flowers and plants, and taking pictures of insects and birds. . . The ecological world is very wonderful, from birds and animals to ants' eggs. We can feel a special power by careful observation, and the micro-world is wonderful. So how do we shoot macro works as novices? Let me talk about my own understanding of macro: 1, equipment preparation, of course, it is best to have good macro heads, such as Budweiser, and macro heads in other branches are cheap and effective, which is also a good choice. At first, the first 50 1.8 was used, and the aperture was opened to a relatively large or maximum. After manual focusing, the camera is close to the subject at a certain distance, so that we can blur the background and highlight the theme. For example, this photo was taken with the head, the background behind it was blurred to the greatest extent, and the flowers in front were more prominent. Then the photographer said that he could use close-up loops, close-ups, and reverse shots. For reverse connection, hand-held testing has a certain effect, but it is easier to use reverse connection rings and the like when you are tired. The latter is a close-up ring. This one has an electronic ring and an ordinary iron ring. Electronic rings are more expensive and have many benefits. You can adjust the aperture and autofocus, which is really good. Considering the lack of rice, I bought an iron ring, which can be enlarged to a great extent by using all three sections, but the disadvantage of iron ring and reverse connection is that the aperture cannot be adjusted. If you focus, you have to move back and forth, combined with manual focusing, to complete this "Love in the Sunset", which is made with a close-up shot and 50 rackets. It may be difficult to have a clear understanding of the subject. I'm using the macro function of zoom heads in some factories with telephoto end, probably because my head is old. Because of incompatibility, you can only use the maximum aperture, which leads to the picture being not fine enough when shooting some small objects, but it doesn't matter. As a novice, it is also possible to shoot some large objects to practice, such as this tulip, which is not as good as the macro head, but the effect is still very good. Then prepare some other things, such as tripod (you can shoot while spraying water), flash, wired release (wireless is the best, so the distance is not a problem. It is completely barrier-free when shooting with water), flowerpots, bryophytes (used for home shooting to create an atmosphere), watering flowerpots and so on. Everyone can try all kinds of ideas, which will bring many unexpected gains. 2. If you shoot at macro, the environment is very important. If shooting at home, prepare a pot full of water (try to fill it with water, otherwise it will be worn out and there will be obvious traces of the pot), and hold it in the middle with a solid. Put a colorful and pure background behind the basin to create a good atmosphere for shooting. You need a desk lamp to measure light and focal length. The indoor light is limited, so the flash comes in handy. Then put the small animals in the ecological park so that they can enjoy shooting in the wild after adapting to the environment. If the light is poor in the morning and evening, you should bring a flash. If the light is available, using natural light is a good choice. You can take a pair of scissors with you. Remove the messy background around the subject. 3. Regarding shooting skills, the first thing to say is water spraying. Small watering can is very effective. Whether it is a flower or a small creature, water droplets can always bring a little novelty and good luck. Let's talk about the method of spraying water first. At first, the effect of spraying water with a big watering can was like a rainstorm. This is to control the amount of water sprayed. Take more photos of continuous shooting, and you can always find something better. It will be more exquisite if you spray it with a watering can in a hair salon. We still have to achieve it several times, and we should try our best to shoot the effect of that kind of light spot. To get the effect of that kind of light spot, you need to use a small spray bottle of cosmetics, which is sold in the two-yuan supermarket and sprayed very delicately. In the case of backlight, light spots will come out. There is also the need to spray water first, and then shoot some flowers with water droplets, especially cobwebs, which will be more radiant after the water droplets. The wonderful use of spray bottle is also discussed. I believe that everyone will bring a watering can when they go out in the future. Here are some tips to pay attention to when shooting. Take this picture as an example. At that time, two ants were placed on a string, and both sides were supported by shelves. In order to prevent ants from escaping, there are drops of water on both sides. Ants are afraid of water, and when they meet it, they will turn back. It happened that the shooting time was in the afternoon, the light was just right, and the sunset was beautiful. I thought about shooting a group against the sunset, let the ants perform on the rope, and try to capture, grab and shoot various shots in the continuous shooting. That's all. If shooting in the wild, it will be more difficult. Don't be afraid. For some flying feathers, they can be limited by spraying water. For example, this picture of Douniang is very good. There is a feeling that Douniang drinks water after the rain, but it is actually sprayed out. Someone asked: Douniang is so flexible that she can shoot at such a close distance. How did she do it? Actually, it's just spraying water, but spraying water also has a little skill. Spray from far and near, from slow to fast, so that they feel it's raining, and then you can shoot close to them. Water droplets on their bodies also limit their flight. Sometimes when they are tired of filming, they are still in the same place, very dedicated!
