Macro Photography






Macro Photography is the use of a lens to capture a picture of a small subject, while making it appear large. For Instance taking a picture of a snowflake, and seeing it's patterns is an example of macro photography.

3 things to keep in mind:

Keep Your Distance

Depth of Field

Focus

10 Subjects:

1. Snowflakes
2. Water Drops
3. Rocks
4. Leaves
5. Branches/sticks
6. Buds
7. Engraving
8. Neon Signs
9. Eyes
10. Grass


The object is framed well and there is a good distance, which showcases the depth of field of the image. The subject(s) are in focus, which, in conjunction with the blurry background creates a sense of vastness

​-subject size The subject is small, but has enough involved to be a good subject for the photo
-background The background is blurred and basic, shifting the focus to the subject
-focus The subject is focused perfectly, and is clearly the subject
-depth of field The subject is in the foreground, the middle ground is semi-blurred, and the background is fully blurred
-lighting The lighting is natural and causes a small shadow, which adds more depth to the photo
