Macro Photography

Macro photography basically means clicking small objects from a very small distance. The focusing distance can vary from 0.5inch to 6 inches. Small insects and other small animals are best photographed using macro lenses. The small animals and flowers look extremely detailed and leave us in awe of the photographer’s skill. But clicking these pictures requires no great skill, just a steady hand and lots of patience. Macro lenses can be fitted into any normal thread mount or clip mount DSLR camera. They are small in size compared to the zoom lenses and have a very short range of photography.
