Macro Photography

My class was assigned to find our definition of Macro Photography through research.  Well after reading some things and analyzing a few photos (below) i have come up with what i think is Macro Photography.

  • Macro Photography-basically, this is the art of taking close-up photos.  For it to be considered macro photography the photo is in focus, zoomed up entirely getting extreme detail. (Source)
  • Below the post, i have different examples of Macro Photography posted.
  • Tools- To take such photos, a specific lens is, sometimes, necessary.
    • I researched tools that photographers used, and i came across this site, Edberg Photo.  I learned that there are many different lenses, as well as other types of tools that you can use to get such detailed photos.
      • A few tools that i will list are the- Macro lens, close-up filters, reversing lens, and stacking lenses.
    • At the bottom of this site, the one posted, there is a great example of how each of the tools work.  It amazed me at the difference between them all and how well they actually work
  • When asked what i would photograph, when doing a macro photography assignment, i immediately thought of a flower, fake or real.  
    • 3 subjects i'd want to photograph:
      • Flower
      • My bass guitar
      • A lock
    • Each of these subjects would create unique photos, and if i were assigned this i would photograph each. (except  i wouldn't bring my bass to school!  If it was in-class i would photograph a textbook instead.)
