While 1:1 isn’t achievable, it’s much easier to shoot at lower magnification because depth of field increases rapidly with lower magnification. I find that 0.3x to 0.5x meets most of my macro needs. The formula for depth of field is: Depth Of Field (in mm) = .02 x f-number / ...
So, macro means to focus and scale. But there’s more to a macro lens than just that. Images photographed with a macro lens are often shown – printed, on-screen or projected – so the subject is above life-size but still fascinating beyond human eye levels of detail. A typical macro ...
With underwater photography, you have two options: to shoot with a macro lens, or with a wide-angle. You need to be as close to the intended subject as possible. The closer you are the better the sharpness, contrast, and tone. This does mean some planning is needed before any shoot, ...
Macro lenses can be expensive, so there are a few accessories that can adapt an existing lens to shoot closer. These solutions tend to be lower quality — your image may be a bit softer than when captured with an actual macro lens, for example. Extension tubes fit between the camera body...
which one of your iPhone's camera lenses can focus the closest and switches to it. It provides ultra-precise focus control down to the sub-millimeter for a sharp image, while an AI-based feature called Neural Macro further enhances the close-up details of photos, post-shoot. ...
Photography is a journey of light and mind. To shoot perfect jewelry photographs, stay aware of the light you use and keep an eye on how your camera tracks it. It will be an adventure of plenty of adjustments, innumerable corrections and lessons learned. Jewelry product photography will be ...
The iPhone 8 Plus lets you shoot images at 2x magnification with its 56mm-equivalent "telephoto" lens. Here’s how!
For instance, I captured this next image of a cosmos with a macro lens. However, because the cosmos was large, and because I wanted to show the entire flower (rather than just a single petal), I shot at a magnification closer to 1:2, or 0.5x. ...
With my Sigma 28mm DG EX Aspherical Macro lens, I find that an f/4 or smaller is sufficient. An added benefit is the depth of field improves and focus becomes less critical. What can take a bit to get use to is how infrared photos look right out of the SD14 - Like crap. There ...
If you're using a real macro lens, shoot with a reasonably narrow aperture. In addition to shooting in low-light conditions, a tripod is ideal for extremely small subjects—especially ones that happen to be moving. Sometimes, a steady hand just won't get the job done. ...
