Macro Photography

Macro Photography is really close up, detailed images. Ususally with one part 0f the object in the photo in focus or just the object in focus and the background or rest of image looking soft/blurred. When doing this another term for it would be a shallow depth of feild, depth of field is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that are perticularly sharp in an image. To create this effect with your camera you need to use a fast shutter speed, I used 1/160 and then balanced the aperture as you need to so the photograph isn't under or over exposed so I changed my aperture to 5.6. I also changed the ISO to 200-800 depending on what I took photos of, I used 200 when photographing bright things like grass and I used 800 for dark things like trees so the image wasn't under exposed and appeared dark.

These are some of the photos I took:
