Dandelion Seeds

Photograph by Michele Sutton, My Shot

These are dandelion seeds from the parachute ball. A different way to capture dandelions entertained me the entire afternoon. With a breeze blowing that caused abrupt and delightful interruptions, I managed to finally get a result I really liked. Subject, arrangement and lighting provided entirely by Mother Nature.

Photo Tip: Get creative with macro photography by shooting the subject from an unexpected angle. Try different lighting, as well, using front lighting for deeper color saturation and side lighting to highlight texture.

Photo Tip: Macro photography is really successful when the image has a main point of interest and that point or subject is composed well within the frame. Choose a simple background so it doesn’t compete with the main subject for a viewer’s attention.

Photo Tip: A close-up attachment is a flat, filter-like lens that mounts to the front of your normal lens (it usually screws into the filter thread) and allows you to focus more closely. You will be able to focus at closer distances, although the maximum magnification will depend on the focal length of the lens you’re attaching it to.

Leatherwing Beetle

Photograph by John Troiani, My Shot

Leatherwing beetles are always visiting my marigolds, and I took this one with a Nikon D80 and Sigma 150mm macro lens, handheld. They are always moving, but this guy stood still and posed nicely for me.

Photo Tip: Shooting flowers, leaves, and insects outside can be a challenging. A perfectly composed shot can be quickly ruined by just a whisper of a breeze. Stop unwanted subject motion and blur. Before you set up your shot, try planting a stick in the ground and tether the flora to it for stability. Use the fastest shutter speed possible and use a ring flash or flash units mounted to your lens if shooting at a low aperture.

Photo Tip: A good sturdy tripod is essential. You have two options. You can buy a tripod with legs that splay wide enough to allow a very low position, or you can buy a tripod that has a reversible head stern that allows the camera to hang facing down under the tripod.

Euphorbia Plant

Photograph by Terry Bridges, My Shot

Out this afternoon to see what was "waking up" ... not much yet, but the Euphorbia during late winter is a beautiful red brown. Here the very tips of the plant in macro yield a pleasant shot.

Photo Tip: If shooting outdoors, macro photography is effective on bright days when you don’t have to use a very slow shutter speed. A bright, overcast day works especially well, as it will also light your subject evenly.
