Recently my team was doing a basic photography workshop in our Canon Image Square( Canon brand store).
During our workshops we came across a situation where most of the people in photography get confused with the term macro and close up.
Therefore, this month tip will be on How to differentiate, Close up with Macro in photography…
Terminology:
Macro Photography:
Taking pictures of small objects with higher photographic magnification, resulting into an array of vivid detail produces Macro images.
Main feature by which these images are identified are up-close detailed photographs of extremely small objects.
- Extremely Small Objects
- High Magnification
Magnification and its effects:
Photographic Magnification is how much larger the subject appears on the sensor than it is in real life. So magnification of 0.5x means that an object of 20mm reproduces itself as 10mm on sensor plane.
- A true Macro Lens features Magnification of 1x i.e. a 20mm subject will reproduce itself as 20mm on sensor plane.
- So a true Life size Macro Lens will reproduce at 1:1, i.e. 1mm in real is reflects 1mm on sensor.
- EF 50mm f/2.5 0.5x Compact Macro & EF-S 60mm f/2.8 1x Macro USM are ideal macro lens for shooting flowers. It gives you wider perspective. Up-close working distance don’t pose much problem as flower wont fly away as a shy butter fly would.
- EF 100mm f/2.8L 1x Macro IS USM becomes an ideal Macro lens for insect life for it gives a considerable space amongst the subject and the photographer.
It also falls near the ideal portrait focal length as it reduces the distortion.
- EF 180mm f/3.5L 1x Macro USM works best where a careful distance from the subject is a need. Poisonous insects, wild frogs, snakes, scorpions can be reached by experts from a distance.
- MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro is an extreme macro lens. The focal length for this lens is 65mm. It is, but disregard this number for the time being and think 1x to 5x magnification. Think 1:1 to 5:1. This lens starts where typical macro lenses stop.
Soon we will be conducting the Macro Workshop in our CIS stores. So keep tuned for an extensive session on Macro Photography.
