Macro Photography

Macro Photography is certainly one of the most satisfying forms of photography and easy to learn.

A practical way for defining macro photography is by the strength of the lens, or how nearby it can focus. For true macro photography, you will need a lens that focuses right down to a 1:1 range. For 35mm film, your camera has to have the ability to focus on an area as small as 24×36mm, because this is the size of the image on the film. After having the film developed, the picture of the subject on the negative or slide will be exactly the same size as the subject photographed.

There are many applications for macro photography like flowers, plants, butterflies, minerals, snowflakes, leaves, etc. Your own backyard, a local garden, beach or forest can provide you with hours of fun with macro photography.

You can make use of extension tubes, reversing rings, or even a close-up diopter lens. An extension tube is placed between the camera body and the lens. Because there is no glass in the tube, its purpose is to move the lens farther from the film (or digital sensor) so that magnification can take place. The reversing ring is attached on the front of the lens and makes it possible to attach the lens in reverse.

Close-up diopter lenses are placed in front of the camera's main lens. These normally screw-in or slip-on and provide close focusing at very low cost. The quality of the picture might vary though.
