MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY.

WHAT IS MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY?

• Micro Photography is a genre in photography which involves taking photos of which the natural eye would not view in everyday life. Macro means small. So using a standard issue lenses usually would not be useful when attempting to explore macro photography. A lenses with 35-55 and a polarizer would be they perfect setup using a 400-600D with macro adjustments.

• Macro photography has expanded a lot since it was first founded as a genre. Macro photography used to mean taking images of a grain or smaller.

• Nowadays Anything not seen by the natural eye is called ‘macro’.

EXPLORING MICRO PHOTOGRAPHY:

NARROWING DOWN CHOICES:• I would like to wildlife for my Macro exhibit. Here are some more examples of Macro

wildlife:

MY CHOICES:• I have chosen these two as they stand out from the

rest in my eyes. These two photos really explore the world of macro under our noses.

• Image 1 explores how wasps use their surroundings and work in pairs.

• Image 2 shows us how other species live and survive in the wild.

• For me macro photography is a great choice and I would like to showcase this sort of imagery on Task 7.
