Technique - Macro

Macro:

Definition:

A macro photograph is one in which the size of the subject on the negative or image sensor is life size or greater, although most of the time we will end up looking at a large size image of a really small insect or flower, for example.

Image Bank:


I will need:
1). Tripod
2). Camera 
3). Macro lens 
4). Soft Box
5). Light meter
6). Flash trigger
7). Remote release (if possible)

My reasoning for requiring a remote release is to decrease camera movement even more. This is because the camera can be moved by the person pressing the shutter. Normally the camera shake is imperceivable, but as this is Macro photography any movement will blur the image as there is such a small focal point. 

I used the camera on the tripod to stabilise the images and make sure there was as little movement as possible. I used the soft box to illuminate my image and create soft lighting for the flowers. I used the light metre to find the correct camera settings. 

My camera settings were:
Focus: Manual
F/stop: F/8
Shutter: 1/125
ISO: 200
