Learn to understand what macrophotography is and how to do it

You must have heard the words macrophotography, right, for animal lovers, flower lovers, these words are not foreign words anymore.

And today I will share with you a little knowledge, experience and we will learn what macrophotography is and how to do it.

Macrophotography is taking a photo of a small object with a very close distance, with the aim of obtaining detailed results, where small objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye will be seen with macrophotography shots.

However, to get maximum and good results is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand, it takes struggle and hard work and high patience in the work, and besides that it also takes some tips and materials and supporting tools.

Here are some of the supporting tools needed when doing macrophotography work...

Camera
The most important thing in doing macrophotography is that it is supported by a good and quality camera, the better the camera you use, the higher the quality of the resulting image, you must have heard of Camera Cannon or Nikon, so I think it's already in the category of a good camera.

But for those of you who are beginners in photography and don't have much capital to buy a good camera then you can use your cellphone camera, it's like what I've been doing so far, I use my cellphone camera.

Camera lens

After having a good camera, another thing that is no less important in macrophotography work is having a camera lens that is suitable and ideal for the camera you have.

Small Tripod
This is no less important, because the biggest challenge in taking macrophotography pictures is the wind that blows not according to our wishes, we can't regulate the wind, so we need a tripod so that the camera doesn't shake when blown by the wind and we will get clear focus. of our target object.
Keep Breathing steady

This is also very important, especially for those of you who use a cellphone camera with a macro lens, of course breathing irregularly will make the camera and the object you want to capture shake so that it will produce a blurry or blurry image.

clean all equipment before use

This is useful and aims to produce good images, so you have to regularly clean all your equipment, from your camera to your lens before using it, try not to hold it into the lens glass with your hands directly, but use a tissue or soft cloth.

Do not bring smoke / do not smoke while taking pictures.

Smoking will make insects or the object of our shot will run away and cigarette smoke will make the lens blurry or smoky, even if what you take is not an insect such as a flower, but stay away from smoke.

and the last one is to be patient and don't rush.

To produce a good picture, it is impossible to take one photo, but it takes patience, you have to take photos several times until the resulting picture looks good.

Here I show some photos that I took with my cellphone camera and using an apexel macro lensa.
