Macro Photography

Oki so on its slow and steady way comes the next video I made tonight. It covers macro photography which, once you start you wont be able to stop!!

It's great to be able to see the detail of items in your photos... the main challenge is getting close enough without casting a shadow over your items.

So the three main things to think about when using the Powershot SX40 for macro photography:

1 - Keep your lens fully retracted without using any zoom at all. The camera cannot do macro photography if the zoom is in use.

2 - Make sure that you have pressed the left button on the back wheel and selected Macro Focus (the flower icon) to enhance the cameras ability to focus on items close up.

3 - Try and get in a position where you and your camera don't cast a shadow or block the light.

If you can use manual settings, it will help you control your image more successfully if the lighting isn't ideal.

So here's a look at the sort of things macro photography can give us.









Lots of pics here :)
