When attempting to take a macro photograph (macro photography is close-up photography.) here are some helpful hints.
Depth of Field: First a person must consider the depth of field. That is the area between the nearest and farthest points from the camera that is sharp and focused within a photograph.
• Deeper depth of field - more area in focus, or foreground softened
• Shallow depth of field - less area in focus, causing a main subject to stand out
Smaller aperture openings extend the range of what is focused withing the photo while large openings restrict the sharp focus to a shallow area (shallow depth of field). The smaller the opening of the
aperture the more focused the entire image becomes, this statement includes the background of the photograph
Digital Zoom: Next a person taking a macro photograph must consider the digital zoom. In the digital area, zoom range is often enhanced via digital zoom. The camera zooms into the area of the image to achieve a closer look at the subject. This results in a higher quality focused image with a softer background resulting in a macro effect.
