It’s the Little Things That Matter Most: An Intro to Shooting Macro Images

My introduction to “real” macro photography came more than a decade ago when I was reviewing the Canon MP-E 65mm F/2. 8 1-5x Macro lens and Canon’s macro strobe setup. I had shot macro before, but this was my first time shooting with a lens that captured images greater than life-size, and it was a mesmerizing experience.

I remember buying flowers so that I’d have a steady object to practice with, and I set them out on the dining room table in a nice sunny spot. At first, I took some images at the least magnified setting, the 1x power, and the images were lovely. With the Canon strobe system and some tinkering, I could really control focus and background lighting, and I took some nice photos. .
