What is macro photography?


Macro photography is extremely close up photography
that captures the details of an object. It most often has
the lens bigger than the subject of the image.

John Carbone on gettyimages.com

What You Need for Macro
         Photography


Macro photography can’t be shot with film cameras
we used in the beginning of the year. While point and
shoot cameras can work, but single-lens reflex
cameras are the best. They have special lenses that
can capture extreme close up detail that other lenses
can’t.
What I can shoot for macro


5 items that I can take pictures of in my macro
photography shoot are:

  An eyeball
  Jewelry
  plants/leaves
  A pet
  fabric
