The beauty lies in the magnification of the tiny objects like insects, wires, droplets and birds etc. Not every photographer knows the art of capturing the photo. Therefore, for all those individuals who are interested in taking some great shots with their SLR or DSLR cameras following are some helpful tips and techniques which I learned by experimenting different settings and ways. I hope they will benefit you all!
1. Camera and Lens
The most important thing to consider before capturing a macro photo is nothing but a nice camera and its lens. In SLR and DSLR cameras it is far easier to adjust the lens as per your requirement and specifications. You can also buy a special lens for your camera. | |||
2. Rigid Base | |||
To avoid jerks of hands it is important to use either a tripod or any other firm surface so that the picture can not be spoiled. Do not let your hand or camera shake; it will affect your photography. Always use firm and solid grounds to place your camera. | |||
3. Keep Your Focus Sharp
It is a tough task to sharply focus the object. What I have experienced is that one should always use manual settings to get the best shot. It gives full control of aperture and shutter speed. You can also shift your place from one to another in order to capture best possible picture.
4. Consider the backdrop
I am sure you have noticed in many macro photographs the backgrounds are mostly blurred. Have you ever thought why? It is because the object looks great when the background is blurred. All the focus of the viewer is on the magnified object. It is the way it should be done. But selecting a background, even for blurring, is essential.
5. Use of Flash
