I’m a big fan of zoom lenses. They allow us to make photos we couldn’t otherwise make. (To put it another way, they allow us to take the same photos but with less effort.) But when we look at another photographer’s work, what we see is not their lens but their skill. This can be misleading.

For example, here’s a photo by one of my favorite photographers, Sam Abell.

What’s interesting about this photo? A lot of things, actually. You could write an essay on it; in fact I just did :). But what I want to write about is the focal point: the tiny flowers at the very center.

You might think that these flowers were so small that they would be impossible to focus on. But you would be wrong! This is a photo taken using a wide-angle lens—the kind you’d use to take a landscape—set to its maximum “zoom” setting—the kind you’d use to take a portrait. In other words, this is a combination of focal length and zoom that is completely unprecedented in photography! What’s more, the photographer was able to take the photo without even noticing that he was doing something unusual!

The reason for this is simple: with most cameras

With my first macro lens, I had very little idea of what I was doing. But I did know that I had to get closer to the subject for a larger magnification. So, I started with filling the frame with the flower, and then going in closer. This created a problem since getting closer meant that more of the flower filled the frame, and it started to look as if it were just a bigger version of itself. This is a common mistake when starting out in macro photography.

Trying to avoid this problem, by moving back and cropping later on after reviewing the image on screen or even worse, on paper, is like trying to solve an algebraic equation while looking at it backwards! It’s much better to zoom in (moving forward) and compose your shot while still at a distance than it is to crop later on (moving backward).

Trying to get closer also means getting dirtier. Getting your gear very close will often result in some dust or mud splashing up onto it which can be hard to remove later on. And that leads me straight into my second tip: Buy yourself some Nikon Wipes or any other dust removal system you can find. Not only are they useful for wiping away dust from your gear, but they’re great for

In this art we want to focus on flowers.

Beautiful flowers are a must in all macro photography.

A few months ago I was thinking about the challenge of photographing small objects, or flowers, or insects.

It’s not really that hard to zoom in and get a relatively clear picture. The big challenge is composing the shot. You need to find a background that doesn’t distract from what you’re trying to photograph.

Once you have a nice background, then you have to figure out how to get the focus just right. This is probably the most challenging part of macro photography.

And once you’ve figured it all out, you still may not get a good picture. If your subject moves, if the lighting changes, or if the object itself isn’t interesting enough, then even the best composition won’t make an interesting picture.

MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY. We are all drawn to the magnificence of nature and its magnificent beauty and it is this natural magnetism that draws us as photographers to the art of macro photography!

MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY is photography at very close range. The size of the subject in the image is large compared to the size of the image itself. It could be said to be a photograph with a 1:1 ratio.

It is done by taking a picture of an object that is at least 10 times closer than the normal shooting distance for that camera, using a Macro lens or other methods described below.

By shooting in this way it is possible to capture details that your eye would normally miss, such as individual rain drops on a flower petal!

The term Macro Photography is often used to describe a specialized field of photography that involves taking images of small subjects with the aid of a camera, generally known as a macro lens. When you think about it the main difference between macro and other photography is just the distance from the camera to the subject. The general definition of photography dictates that if you get within 8 inches or so from your subject you are in fact doing macro photography. This means that all close-up shots are in effect macro shots, but if you use a special lens for the purpose then it is referred to as Macro Photography.

_Macro_ (also known as _Macrophotography_) is a specialized photographic technique whereby close-up images of very small subjects are recorded on film or digital media. In order to take such photographs, a person uses a camera capable of getting extremely close to its subject. A variety of objects can be photographed using this technique, including small insects, flowers, and even currency, but it is most commonly associated with shooting pictures of small insects such as ants and butterflies or flowers.

Hi! My name is Joakim Olsson and I am a photographer living in the south of Sweden. I started out with photography 2 years ago, and have found it to be a very interesting journey so far. I am a self taught photographer, and have been trying to teach myself everything on my own. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t had any help or guidance along the way but everything has been done through forums such as this one.

I have always had an interest in photography but never really got into it as much as I have today. Some of my favorite photographers are Trey Ratcliff, Michael Shainblum and Charles Cramer (just to name a few).
