MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY
Sabi ni Wikipedia, Macro photography is close-up photography of usually very small subjects. The classical definition is that the image projected on the "film plane" (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is close to the same size as the subject. In addition, Photography.com states that although macro photography traditionally referred to taking pictures with a sensor that is larger than the subject, it currently includes taking pictures in which the image appears at least as large as it does in reality. The advent of digital cameras has made macro photography more accessible to the general photographer. Yet, professional macro photography with traditional cameras requires a keen awareness of lighting, focus and lens requirements.
Traditionally, macro photography is defined as any photo in which the subject has a 1:1 ratio with the photo negative. This means that the image of the subject on the negative is exactly the same size as the real life subject. So, no magnification is used.
Paano kumuha ng macro photo?
Andito yung iba't-ibang paraan para makakuha ng macro shots:
1. Dedicated Macro lenses. Downside lang nito ay ang price. napakamahal ang mga macro lenses. pero kung may pera ka naman ay pwede mong bilhin ito. Bukod sa napakaganda ang mga kuha nito ay pwede mo pang kontrolin ang depth of field (by controlling aperture) ng camera!
2. Reverse Ring. sa halagang di aabot ng 500 petot ay makakabili ka na ng reverse ring. ano ang pwedeng gawin nito? siempre, as it's name suggests, pwede mong baligtarin ang lens mo! extra ingat lang sa pag reverse kasi baka mapasukan ng alikabok yung lens! pinakamagandang gamitin na lens para dito ay yung kitlens (18-55mm). Usually, ang kitlens ng Canon ay may thread na 58mm at 52mm naman ang thread ng kitlens ng Nikon.
3. Extension tubes. Ang mga extension tubes ay walang optics, kaya hindi affected ang image quality ng picture. May dalawang klase ng extension tube - ang Manual (MET) o Auto (AET). Ang AET ay may electronic parts sa loob nito at may capability itong ma control yung aperture at focusing ng camera. Samantalang ang MET ay wala. purely manual lahat...
sample picture ng extension tube:
dati kong extension tube setup:
may do-it-yourself na diffuser para di masyadong hard yung lighting ng flash. kailangan ito para makapagpicture ng mas mabilis (shutter speed na more than 1/100).
3. Close up lenses. para itong mga filters na screw-in sa harap ng lens. nagbibigay ang mga ito ng additional magnification sa subject. yun nga lang, maaring ma degrade yung image quality.
Here are some tips/tutorials i found in the net that may help you start your macro photography career:
