To give you every chance of doing well in the competition, we\u2019ve put together some practical tips below. Best of luck in APOY!<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"155426 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/general-macro.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"704\" \/>\n<p><strong>Understand the difference between macro and close-up<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough the terms close-up and macro photography are often used interchangeably, in reality only a reproduction ratio of 1:1, or a magnification of 1x (life-size), can be classed as macro; anything less than that is close-up. For the most part, this distinction is inconsequential, but when it comes to buying a lens it\u2019s important to note that some manufacturers describe their lenses as \u2018macro\u2019 when, in fact, they are incapable of achieving 1:1 magnification and should really be described as \u2018close-up\u2019. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpb.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MPB<\/a> sells a wide range of high quality used macro lenses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"155427 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/long-one.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Use a longer macro lens for very shy small creatures<\/strong><br \/>\nThey can be expensive, but the benefits of longer focal length lenses will allow you to stand back from your subject\u2014while still magnifying plenty of detail. It\u2019s still possible to shoot macro wildlife using shorter lenses, but your hit rate will suffer if your proximity is disturbing creatures in their natural habitat. To achieve a narrow depth of field for that all-important subject-background separation, macro lenses\u2019 extra magnification means you don\u2019t have to be fully open.<\/p>\n<p>Equally, unlike with standard lenses, large apertures might create too little depth \u2013 so stopping down might make it easier to focus, especially if you\u2019re using manual-focus lenses (manual focusing is sometimes easier with macro).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick your time<\/strong><br \/>\nTo find the perfect time to shoot your chosen subjects, you need patience and a little research. If shooting insects or other animals is your thing, try to research when they\u2019re most active\u2014both seasonally and at a given time of day. This will allow you to better plan your shoot. This goes for weather conditions.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"155432 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lighting.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/>\n<p><strong>Keep the context<\/strong><br \/>\nSometimes photographing a fly on a sheet of Perspex or a flower against a paper backdrop can lead to striking pictures, but only when the juxtaposition is intentional. Simply plonking a subject onto a background is unlikely to lead to memorable work. Where possible, try to shoot natural subjects in their natural environment \u2013 because including vegetation, rocks, wildlife etc can provide valuable information about the life of your subject.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consider extension tubes<\/strong><br \/>\nTo get into macro without forking out for an expensive lens, try using an extension tube. They simply move the lens away from the imaging plane. While you may lose infinity focus, it will allow you to focus at a closer distance\u2014with lenses you already own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t forget about the composition<\/strong><br \/>\nWith macro, the subject is often the most important variable in the shot\u2014but there are ways to accentuate your subject. Using negative space can make the subject pop. Points of interest surrounding the subjects\u2014texture, colour, aperture\u2014will have a drastic effect on the overall composition of the image. Make sure you control as much of the shot as you can.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s something you don\u2019t want in the frame, try to move around so it&#8217;s no longer in your composition. It may sound obvious, but a big part of photography is knowing what to shoot and what not to shoot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"155428 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/composition.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><strong>Mastering minimum focusing distance<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019ve ever tried focusing on a subject close to the lens, but no matter what you try you just can\u2019t get it sharp, then check the specifications to see what the minimum focus distance of the lens is. This distance is measured from the focal plane (sensor\/film) to the subject, not from the front of the lens to the subject, which is a common misconception (this is actually the working distance).<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"155429 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/background.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"768\" \/>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t forget the background<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you\u2019re shooting macro wildlife, it usually isn&#8217;t possible to move your subjects. So, if you want to make your shot more dynamic, try studying the area around the subject. Find angles to shoot from that maximise interesting backgrounds\u2014incorporate colour, light and texture. To maximise depth of field, keep the camera parallel to the subject, stop down the aperture (bearing in mind the above), position the camera further away from the subject or try focus stacking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"155430 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/plamp-600x400.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Keep plants steady<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen wind speed rises above 5mph, plants seem to move about the frame at an alarming rate. In such instances, it\u2019s best to let things die down. Failing that, look for plants with thicker stems or use a Wimberley Plamp (or other support) to steady your subject. But don\u2019t be put off by \u2018bad\u2019 weather \u2013 overcast conditions are great for reducing contrast, and mist, snow and frost can add atmosphere. What\u2019s more, plants look great after a shower of rain. As a wider tip, extreme magnifications can lead to shake when hand-holding, so consider also taking along a tripod.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"155431 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lighting.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"806\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Master lighting<\/strong><br \/>\nNatural light is arguably better; use a reflector to bounce it back into shadow areas, or a diffuser to soften harsh sunlight. Another alternative is a portable LED light, which can be great for illuminating flowers and fungi<\/p>\n<p>Adding light from a flash can also help you better control your scene. Experiment using your pop-up flash, if you have one, then move on to off camera flash\u2014or ring flash, depending on your needs. To add a certain softness to your shot, try diffusing or bouncing light so it isn\u2019t harsh on your subject. Experiment with shutter speed and ISO to darken or brighten backgrounds to add drama to your shots.<\/p>\n<p>For more great close-up tips, see MPB&#8217;s blog article <a
