Macro photography
This is a fascinating world of ultra close ups. Even a simple leaf comes to life under a macro lens with its structural details becoming more apparent. Some other basic equipment is advisable in addition to a good quality macro lens. This includes a remote-control release and a mirror lock-up leaver to avoid any camera shake, manual focusing option and TTL metering to compensate for light loss from filters and extensions. At such close quarters, depth of field shrinks to millimetres and auto focus simply won't give you the image you want. Don't forget that depth of field is very shallow, but this can be used to your advantage. Smaller apertures give greater depth of field, but a slower exposure may be a disadvantage, particularly in windy conditions. This can be overcome with a fast film or flash. |
