Macro photography reveals a world the naked eye can barely perceive — the textures of an old family ring, the details of a yellowed silver photograph, the hands of a newborn. heirloom, it's a must-have technique.
What is macro photography?
By definition, macro photography produces images where the subject is reproduced at full size or larger on the sensor. A true macro lens has a reproduction ratio of 1:1. In practice, anything that allows a very tight framing on a small subject falls into this category.

Options for beginners
A dedicated macro lens is the ideal but expensive tool. Affordable alternatives: elongated bushings that extend any lens, screw-in macro filters, or the macro mode found on most compact cameras. On smartphones, portrait modes with close focus also give good results.
Depth of field: extremely reduced
In macro, the depth of field is reduced to a few millimeters. At f/2.8 in extreme macro, only the exact focal plane is sharp. To have more sharp subject, close the diaphragm (f/8, f/11) and use a tripod to compensate for the loss of light.
