7 macro photography skills

1. Familiar with your own photographic equipment first

I think, it doesn't need a lot of equipment and accessories you can also get a good picture, and one of the most important should be familiar with their own photographic equipment, especially beginners, initially blindly expected to pursue professional expensive equipment, rather than from the first exercise equipment well known in his hand, and try to shoot more photos to accumulate experience. When you use handy equipment, you will get good pictures on the shooting. With a macro lens repeated practice. In the beginning you may meet problems on focus, because it is difficult to find the target from the viewfinder, hand shake when focus, finally found out the picture is not sharp enough. Actually, as long as you try to understand and solve your own fault from practice, you can become confident and take excellent photos.

2. Understand the operation of the aperture

May be some people think that only a large aperture to take beautiful macro pictures? Not necessarily must have. I think learning shooting macro should learn first to the aperture of operation, because of the depth of field not only see its extent, but also a common macro composition tool. Because people want to know what subjects and body first, not necessarily to pursue aperture. If you are using too large aperture shadow macro may only focus to the head or tail of insects, which can't focus to the whole of insects, insect finally can only draw a highlight is less than the whole body photos (unless you want to highlight the focus of the head and deliberately close-up). Shooting flower also has the opportunity to focus on only one piece of petals.

3. Focus on the most beautiful moment

Decisive moment often heard, originally also has a ring in the macro photography. Master thinks if concentrate in the moment, when you decide to a very good opportunity, you can press the shutter shade to a good picture. But if you don't have the judgment of the good opportunity, or a slow step, of cause you will not get good photo. When focus on filming, and don't forget the ignored on the surrounding environment. If you find suitable for shooting, you should try to capture the main body of different action and the beauty. And the difficulty may be higher, such as insects might scare off it, and I think the film dynamic subject poise to capture the moment it is not easy.

4. In the case of an unplanned

Sometimes as a photographer, you may want to have a plan before filming what theme, where filming, etc., which is easy to know what you need to bring tools and equipment, everything is ready to start shooting. Be prepared in advance, of course, sometimes it is very important, but there may be some photography friends just like the opposite tack.

5. Important modification

I believe that a lot of photography friend after taking pictures will be repaired with repairing figure software, I think we should learn how to utilize the post-production software to edit your photos. At the same time can learn what we can do in post-production editing, what will not be able to edit, to avoid the same mistake when shooting.

6. Don't force yourself to have to shoot something.

I think we should keep an open mind to photograph, some people don't like insects, completely don't try to shoot them. Of course, you also can focus on photographing subjects such as flowers, but the theme of "diversity"; you can make yourself more familiar with macro photography, which will make your shooting not too depressing. I think the macro photography of insects as well as photography technology also can let you look for everywhere, study creatures you want to know more little. For macro photography insects can reveal more details, I think that even if the "worst" insects can become interesting, and every moment they are likely to be recorded in different action, process is very interesting.

7. To try a new style

I think people in establishing their own shooting style, should not limit them to some kind of composition and angle. I like to try to adjust different situation, in the meanwhile I can try to mix of old and new technology, and practice. Rather than having to use the same kind of composition, the same kind of Angle will trap our idea. In a day, for example, natural light can have much different case, if the sunrise or sunset when the light is very suitable for the high contrast backlit macro pictures; if the sky is bright noon, we can try to create a macro as its main theme color photos. Master also like larger aperture and handheld pictures, because there can be very fast exposure time, make object movement solidification in a moment.

Finally, actually a lot of macro photography masters have been constantly practiced, try to learn and grow to become a master, take a lot of beautiful macro pictures. So the key is the most important, "success to hard work. Hope that readers can absorb the focus of this article, the practice is also a chance to be a master, follow the steps into the world of macro photography.
