Macro Photography

MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY:

Macro photography is taking pictures that are very close up to the subject.  In a macro photo the ratio of the picture should be 1:1.

EQUIPMENT:

The equipment needed for macro photography is first off a camera.  It can’t be just any camera.  The camera has to have interchangeable lenses or lets you attach different filters.  A dedicated micro lens is said to be the best lens for making macro images.  Extension tubes and bellows is another piece of equipment option.  They are used to decrease the minimum focus of the distance from the lens.  You can get closer, while keeping it in focus.  Another piece of equipment is the reversing rings.  The reversing rings let you attach one lens in reverse to another lens.  It makes the focus very clear.  A teleconverter is used for extra magnification.  There are also close up lenses you can buy which allows you to focus at distances that are closer than usual.
