Macro Tips and Tricks

Some things to watch for shooting macro is:

Lighting (light source)

Divided in 2:

# Natural lighting / natural light / sun / available light

# Artificial lighting (flash and studio lights)

Depth Of Field (DoF)

DOF (depth of focus) in macro photography, the space will be beautiful sharpness of an image can be seen if in accordance with the object that we will capture.

Because the closer the distance between the camera focus point with the object the more thin / narrow DoFnya, can we control this by adjusting the lens aperture diafraga from her. Surely we will not produce images that only kupu2 sharp eye only while the beauty section of the color of its wings to blur.

So if we want to get a wider DoF, but the distance between the lens with objectnya wanted to get closer, the aperture diaphragm should be set to smaller value (usually between f/5.6 can be up to f/16).

Factors affecting the DoF are:

Lens length: the longer the lens the more thin DOF that will be produced

Focus distance: The closer focus distance of an object from the lens, the thin DoF to be produced.

Diaphragm: The larger the aperture lens (f/2.8) the thin DoF to be produced.

So in conclusion, DoF generated is a combination of the 3 variables tsb.

In macro photography, which will be produced relative DoF is very thin (the opposite of landscape photography.)
