Technique - Macro

Macro

Macro lenses come in a variety of focal lengths. A close up attachment will allow closer focusing distances, but at some degradation in image quality.

HOW CAN I ACHIEVE A MACRO IMAGE:
1. Tripod
2. Fast shutter speed
3. Manual camera settings
4. Manual focus
5. No camera shake
6. Direct the shoot
7. Photo-editing software

My images:





The first three I experimented with photographing body parts using the macro lens. The detail shown in this image is very intricate, I feel these images have turned out really well because it acts as a mystery - your given these body parts but you don't know who they belong too and your wanting to see the full image of this person.
The last one is a flower that was inspired by my image bank. I chose this flower because even though it is very basic, there is still a lot of detail once you get close. This image was successful because you can see the each individual part of the flower.

PROGRESSION:
I like this technique, however I feel you have to have the right lens in order to capture an image like this
