The theme is Close-ups<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The magic of macro photography is that it gives us a view of the world that we never normally see. The intricacies and beauty of a butterfly wing or the alien-like features of a spider all come alive when viewed in close-up. Natural subjects are often the go-to for the macro photographer, with good reason, but the medium offers such huge scope for creativity, you can look almost anywhere and at anything for inspiration. Good technique is crucial in this round, and it\u2019s vital to get to get the focusing spot on, because a millimetre can make the difference between a shot that\u2019s rejected and a winner.

Fans of close-up photography might want to put the voucher towards a Canon EF 100mm\u00a0f\/2.8 L Macro IS USM. This excellent lens has a true macro magnification ratio of 1:1, meaning the object you are photographing is the same size as on your camera sensor, while its Hybrid Image Stabilizer system counteracts both regular angular shake and lateral shift-shake. It\u2019s equally good for portraiture and macro, and can be bought for between \u00a3514 up to \u00a3704 for a model in like-new condition.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Canon-100mm-macro.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"168195 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Canon-100mm-macro.jpg\" alt=\"Canon EF 100mm\u00a0f\/2.8 L Macro IS USM lens for close-ups\" width=\"559\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The sturdy, weather-sealed <a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/latest\/photo-news\/second-hand-lenses-ultimate-buying-guide-122227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tamron SP 90mm f\/2.8 Di Macro<\/a> is also well worth consideration. Constructed with 14 elements in 11 groups, it features Ultrasonic Silent Drive, as well as Vibration Compensation. As with the Canon lens above, it has a magnification ratio of 1:1, and is also a great choice for portrait photography. Being a third-party lens, it\u2019s available in Nikon, Canon FE and Sony A fits, all three of which are available at MPB, ranging in price from \u00a394 to \u00a3189, depending on condition.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/webTamron-90mm-macro.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"168197 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/webTamron-90mm-macro.jpg\" alt=\"Tamron SP 90mm f\/2.8 Di Macro lens for close-ups\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The first full-frame Z-series camera to offer dual card slots, the <a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/reviews\/compactsystemcameras\/nikon-z5-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nikon Z 5<\/a> features extremely good build quality and follows in the Z 6 and Z 7\u2019s footsteps with excellent handling.
