Macro photography

I <3 Macro - every time I attach the Canon 100mm f/2.8 MACRO to my camera, I get some amazing results. Being able to get a few inches from the subject and get stunning details is something that puzzles my mind!

What is “Marco” photography:
means to record a subject at life size on the negative or sensor. That means that the image on the negative or sensor is the same size as the subject in real life. In common usage, however, macro photography simply means an extreme close up image.

I gathered some subject from around my living room in order to get in depth details.

1/100sec @ f/2.8 – ISO 100 – Focal Length 100mm
J.Crew shirt

1/200sec @ f/11 – ISO 100 – Focal Length 100mm
Canon Professional Neckstrap

1/100sec @ f/2.8 – ISO 100 – Focal Length 100mm
Fake Autumn leafs

1/100sec @ f/2.8 – ISO 100 – Focal Length 100mm

And, this is my budget set up for the Macro photography. Its an easy DIY

1/200sec @ f/9.0 – ISO 100 – Focal Length 10mm
