Macro Photography Introductory Guide

Macro film camera before, or use the macro lens, or using large telephoto lenses, the difference in price is not cheap, but for digital cameras, even many low-end commercial-grade digital cameras, are equipped with a macro and even super macro function, although a professional macro photography can not be compared, but the macro will let you try the world’s beautiful. If you have not tried to shoot macro, please come with me.

Macro is a beautiful world, because the macro can zoom in the microscopic world, visual access is that we do not see everyday things, so a more visual impact. Macro themes are broad, raised flower pots, kitchen vegetable plate was cut vegetables, home decorations, roof falling water drops, the grass downstairs in the insect world … …

Note the time of shooting:

If the shooting SONY vgp-bps3 battery flowers and still life class, you can very carefully consider the light and shape.

Large aperture can help you get great shallow depth of field, and has a large transmittance, the film is not easy to empty out, and can obtain aesthetic results. But since the microscopic world, the camera between the lens and the subject matter has been very close, is likely to cover part of the light, so the secondary just indispensable. If indoors, use the power of household lamps and the like, as incandescent or fluorescent light is not important, because the DC comes with white balance adjustment, a big deal try several times. In addition, a white paper used to fill light is also good suggestions. In order to obtain a clear picture, the auxiliary frame the camera steady tripod, monopod is essential.

If the subject is afraid to disturb the small insects and fast action, high-speed shutter is the first element. There are three ways to get high-speed shutter, one using a large aperture, through the amount of light was enough for the shutter speed to be increased accordingly. Second, use high ISO, but the high ISO images will result in more rough, grainy strengthened, as the performance of the microscopic world must be some good detail, so unless the high ISO images can be fine enough (like Canon 300D can also be under the ISO800 the film to be transparent), or not recommended. The third is to use flash, for example, a feeling of depth to take a clear picture of locusts, and only through a small aperture to get, but the negative effect of a small aperture is the light and the shutter speed to reduce the amount of the reduction, while small animals do not act fast give you the opportunity to play supporting long out light, flash is the only option, and promptly. In order to avoid overexposure direct, please add the flash diffusers.

Need it tips:

1. The use of remote or cable release will help get a clear picture, or use the camera self-timer function.

2. Metering and spot metering focus mode do not have as much as possible, but when measured as measured in the focal point are not allowed. SONY NP-BG1 Battery DC General’s consumer manual focus function is weak, and in the subject matter not easy to focus on smaller, you can watch at the same distance from the hand like a bigger object to aid focus.

3. Use the LCD viewfinder, because the macro itself must take the subject matter with very close, and then use the viewfinder is not only indecent posture, the key is not easy to end the camera steady. The use of LCD viewfinder, allowing the photographer to compose a very calm and easy to see the final effect of the shallow depth of field.

4. Note that the background. Although the macro can generally be a good virtual background, but it should also pay attention to the seams between the background object, and sometimes believe it will undermine the overall effect.

5. Ingenious with different photographic equipment. Some colleagues in the successful use of E20P reverse with headers, then reverse the header to become a magnifying glass, you can get a better macro results, despite the imaging with a black circle, with large resolution can be cut the.

6. Properly try backlighting effect. Especially the thin edge of the plants through the flowers, leaves and the like, backlight will show a special beauty.

7. Tourist attractions, such as wind erosion of stone, rusty locks and the like, in the Macro shooting will show a strong texture.

Carry essential items:

Black cloth: artificial arrangements to facilitate the background, highlighting the Dell inspiron 1525 Battery principal photography.

White, white cardboard (with a certain hardness), a small clip: One can easily fill light, and second, to wind, to prevent the flowers sway in the wind.

Water, small watering can: when the film unique to plants, spray some water cause the picture to special aura, a simpler solution is to take mineral water, water spray mouth about the most convenient.
