Macro Photography Tips and Techniques

What is Macro Photography The art of taking close- up pictures that reveal details which can’t be seen with the naked eye. Macro can magnify from Life Size to 10x Life-size

What is Aperture? The size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken It varies the amount of the image that is in focus – Called the Depth of Field Large f/numbers= – larger area of the image will be in focus Small f/numbers= – smaller amount of the image will be in focus Taken at f/4.5

Setting Your Camera for the Shot Aperture Priority Mode (A or AV) – Impacts the depth of field of your shots. – Choose a large aperture (low f/number) to get the subject in focus and blur the background. Macro Mode on a Point & Shoot Camera Limiting Camera Shake is VERY important in Macro – Use a Tripod – Use the 2-second timer Turn off Auto Focus – Use manual focus so you can pick what is in focus Start with f/5.6 and then play around with the f-stops

Tips for a Good Macro Shot Fill the photo with your subject. Shoot from different angles – When shooting flowers, get down to Ground level and see the world from the flower’s perspective Background – due to the narrow depth of field, the background will usually be thrown completely out of focus, which allows the natural background to be nice backdrop – Move around to remove the background or use a solid color screen to accentuate the subject Go Abstract – Get in extra close and focus on part of the flower…the center, contrasting colors, textures

Adding Color to the Background Add drama and a sense of the unexpected by inserting a different type of background screen into the photograph Use a colored panel behind your flowers – Set it a few feet behind the subject Use BLACK for a more dramatic effect

Typical Macro Subjects Flowers Insects Spider webs Raindrops Sea shells Fruits and vegetables Small objects Coins

Camera Settings to Start With… NIKON’s Aperture Mode Lowest ISO possible – Moving in close can make the image darker Manual focus (flower button) f/5.6 to start and then experiment Focus halfway and then move camera in Point & Shoots Macro Mode Separate subject from background to blur bkgd more Focus halfway and then take picture

Your Task Use the Internet to search for 2 Macro pictures of each – Flower with blurred background – Flower with bold color background – Field of flowers – Insect – Nature (a pebble, acorn, etc.) – Bubbles or Drops of water – Small Objects (nails, coins, paper clips, words on a paper) Some helpful websites:
