Macro Photography

Firstly what is Macro Photography, well when you take an image with a macro lens you get a closer shot and a very small depth of field. Macro shots are usually taken for nature images to show every detail. I have found 2 images that I like and I am going to analyse them to see what’s good about them.

I like this image because of its sheer simplicity. Instead of using a 18-55 mm lens the photography has taken this picture with a Macro Lens. This allows the viewer to see closer into the nib of the pen than they would of ever seen before. I also like the way the photographer has used a white background which we can see is actually square paper. This gives the impression that some one has just left the pen were it lies giving the image a more natural feel to it.







I like this image as it uses the natural bright colours of the flower to make it stand out. it also shows all the

different textures and details of all the parts of the flower. Personally I feel that the image could show more of the flower and not just small sections of it. but if that was to happen then the details that have been gained from shooting it with a macro lens would be lost.

And finally just by looking at the image it looks like the image has been cropped. This may because the photographer thinks that this is the best part of the image.

The next two images are some of my images which I think could be classed as a Macro images, to take them I used my 75-300mm lens.
