 Macro Photography - Index

The relatively recent purchase of a macro lens  has allowed me to pursue another new and exciting interest in photography; the world of the small that the unaided human eye occasionally struggles to see.  I started out initially with a Sigma 105mm  macro lens, which I had for a few years, but it was noisy and slow to focus so I eventually upgraded to a Canon 100mm EF macro lens and this suits me better. Macro photography gives access to a whole new range of subject matter – minute items in nature such as flowers, leaves, insects, water, decay, shapes, patterns, colour and abstracts – the list is endless.

By my own admission, my success rate in achieving consistency and good macro images is somewhat poor, albeit I have only been involved in this type of photography for a fairly short time. It is my aim, therefore, to improve several aspects of my technique in the future in an endeavour to redress the problems.
