Digital Photography Learning-3 Important Steps to Begin Close Up Photography

By Denetor Ectellion


Sometimes, close up photography can be called as genre of photography. People in general try to learn this during the time of gaining knowledge in digital photography. I began my journey by buying close up filters at the very beginning. Also it might be too costly to carry on close up photography. But I have solution.

Why do people love close up photography? The reason is simple. Objects are magnified here. And also people can watch things which can not be visible in naked eye. Especially for this magnification, people love this. Also in this type of photography, the closer will be the better. In addition, it will be better for you to test a camera before purchasing. If the cost seems heavier to you, what will you do?

1.Purchasing compact camera with macro feature
Unless the camera is 1:1, you can not call it as a macro. Compact digital camera having macro feature will be helpful for you to get closer to your subject. Here also one matter of important fact is that the closer will be better. It will be better for you to test the camera before purchasing.

2.Close-up filter for compact camera:
Several compact camera producers have made a wide variety of accessories for models. You can check the website of your producer. You can check whether they can produce close up filters or not. Some compacts can take smaller filter for DSLR.

3.Close-up filter:
Screw thread has been provided with digital SLR. Those have been designed in such way that those can take close up filters for your brand. The screw placed on the end of lens will allow you to get closer to your subject. The quality of the filters is responsible for better image quality. These also come with three lenses which can allow you to take images from different distances. More glass means loss of light and here you will be in need of bigger aperture.

4.Extension Tube:
These are the tubes placed basically in between the lens. Also no glass will be here. For this reason, there will not be any interference between the reacting light and the sensors. Also those can extend the distance between digital sensor and the rear element of lens. For getting closer to the object, this can be helpful. A series of three tubes having various lengths are available. These will offer wide range of combination for you. Also those prices of those should fit into your budget. In case of maximum length focal lengths, those will be very fruitful.

5.SLR lens having macro feature:
Basically it is not macro feature. But this can be more than close up feature. For getting good close up images, these will be helpful. But, in comparison with the quality of real macro lens, this is nothing. But you should know that something is better than nothing.

If you are going to start this close up photography, you can try this. In addition, it is not costly at all. To learn this photography, this can be extremely fruitful. After starting the learning procedure, if you can think that this is going to suit you, undoubtedly you can spend more for this.
