Macro Photography.........?

Does anybody have any ideas of what photos to take in Macro Photography?





For those who dont know what it is, It is pictures of like random objects but very detailed and very close up.





If you have any good ideas, please suggest them.





Thankyou!!!

This one is really down to your passion and personal taste.





Have a think about what you want your photo%26#039;s to convey ans say about you as the photographer. Do you want obscure photo%26#039;s that get the viewer thinking about what the item could be for instance? or do you want to show the beauty of a flower?





I like to take close ups of parts of objects to give the viewer a kinda of %26quot;what am i?%26quot; line of thinking.
Reply:Get creative! Go out into the world yourself and find things that inspire you! Stop relying on other people for inspiration.





You will find your best work coming from yourself and not others suggestions. If you rely on other people, then your photos will be nothing but the same old thing.





(BTW, I would love to see the work you do and watch you progress.. do you have a flickr or deviantart page yet?)
Reply:Foliage is good - say a meadow of flowers. There can be really startling effects with varying the depth of field.





Stop-motion photography often uses styles similar to this.





Oddly, insects make good studies, too. They tend to be still for long periods.





Results are, of course, better using a tripod and remote/delayed shutter, to reduce motion blurring.
Reply:Try going onto Flickr and type in Macro and see what comes up. That should give you tons of ideas!

ICE IS GREAT........ had a go with some colouring food drops over ice too.... nice effects





If you have a good lens you get some cracking patterns
Reply:you could photography anything in marco, its entirly up to you, you find alot of people tend to do flowers, leaves etc etc/ You could do close ups on very small bugs on planst anything really that takes your fancy!
Reply:Anything close up thought it%26#039;s very common to take a photo of flowers and bugs yet these subjects are overdone IMO. The key to macro is doing something unique and getting the right dof.

I%26#039;ve been professionally shooting Macro most of my life, so I%26#039;ll try and help, but your question is a little vague.


Almost anything small makes a good subject. I%26#039;ve always preferred insects. There%26#039;s an endless variety and they%26#039;re not easy to do. The point of Macro photography is to capture an image that most people can%26#039;t or don%26#039;t see, because the fine details of the subject are too difficult to see without the aid of a magnifying glass, etc. And, remember, some of the most important things in Macro photography are lighting, focus, and depth of field.


Examples of a few of the millions of subjects are:


Insects


Flowers


Cactus


Coins


Carpet Fibers


Pencil Point


Bird Feathers


Butterfly Wings


Mouse Nose


Cat%26#039;s Eye


Hairs


Cloth Fibers


Leaves


Etc, etc, etc...........


If you want to really capture good images, get yourself a good camera, good lenses, and good strobes.


Whatever you do, have fun. Always have fun. Macro is extremely satisfying when you know what you%26#039;re doing.
