About Macro - the art of creating an image that is life-size or larger
The lens must be able to get close to the subject and at the same time, the lens is usually further away from the subject.
The aim is to get a sharp image, with most (if not all) of your subject in focus.
You need: - plenty of light - steady camera - steady subject - small aperture - slow shutter

close to the subject, so it’s
best to manually focus your lens
DEPTH OF FIELD when you focus, half of your subject is behind and half in front of the
plane
1APERTURE
choose and aperture that allows your subject to be no slower than 1/
focal length

from the lens
