You want to even up so that the entire face of your subject is facing your camera. Tip #7: Get Level With Your SubjectĪnother tip when you're shooting macro and trying to get your whole subject in focus is to try to be on a level plane with your subject. When you're shooting you need to be super patient with the process and don’t get frustrated! Mess around your settings and subjects, and just know that it'll take you a couple of shots until you get a keeper. Secondly, I've never shot more out-of-focus and blurry images in my entire life. If you're out in nature, it can take a long time to find the perfect leaf, insect, or something you want to shoot. One of the biggest pieces of advice I could give you when shooting macro is to be super patient. Shoot it at an F value of F11 or higher and you can get these cool starbursts if the sun is shining and hitting water droplets. If you are shooting macro and you find a water drop, make sure you shoot it! You can also bring a spray bottle to create water drops of your own if nature isn’t providing them. Fire a couple of extra shots just to ensure at least one of them is sharp and focused. As you move closer and away, the subject will go in and go out of focus.

Something I like to do (if I don’t have a tripod) is put my camera in manual focus in that 1-to-1magnification ratio (the macro range) and then move towards and away from your subject while you fire off a couple of shots. One of the hardest parts about macro photography is nailing focus on your subject, especially when you're in the macro range. You can raise the ISO, you can lower your shutter speed (which is why a tripod is super handy), or you can introduce a light source like Lume Cube to achieve proper exposure. So what you need to do is shoot at an aperture of F8, F11, or F16 so most of your image is in focus and sharp. If you're shooting at an aperture of 2.8, the amount of area in your image that's in focus will be a tiny little sliver.
The biggest issue you'll have when you start shooting macro photography is the very small depth of field. The RGB Panel Pro or the Panel Mini from Lume Cube are perfect for macro photography because they provide continuous light & are very lightweight. The third thing you’ll want when shooting macro photography is a light source. My favorite tripod right now is Peak Design’s Travel Tripod. In the macro world, focusing can be difficult since your subject is so small, adding a stable tripod allows you to focus in a controlled way. Using a tripod also allows you to nail your focus. On a tripod though, you can lower that down which gives you more flexibility with your settings. If you’re shooting handheld you likely don’t want to shoot below a 1/100th of a second shutter speed. Shooting on a tripod will allow you to have more stability so you can slow things down and control your shutter speed better. The second piece of gear you'll want when starting out is a tripod. Some Macro Lenses I recommend are Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens or the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens. Macro lenses have what's called a one-to-one to one magnification range where it makes small objects appear very big and lifesize. Macro lenses have a very close, minimum focusing distance. Without a macro lens, your camera has a minimum focusing distance that isn’t considered ‘macro range’. You’ll also need a macro lens to get up close and personal with your subject. You can use anything from a DSLR to a smartphone but the most important thing is the lens. So first off, what gear do you need to shoot macro photography? Obviously, you’ll need a camera.
