The Tiny Worlds of Macro

Picture
I dearly love doing Macro work.

I've never really been one of those photographers is 'always trying to get it all in one shot' mostly because that grand vista you were looking at lacks grandeur unless you are seeing it projected on a movie screen, huge TV or enlarged above 30 X 40.

I'm more of a pieces of the whole kinda guy, That is probably why my favorite landscape lens is my 70-200mm zoom. I'd say that is also why I enjoy macro work; along with it being very exacting ( you HAVE to use a tripod, cable release and a lens with Macro capability), it makes you choose.

You see, in True Macro Photography, you deal with a very shallow depth of field (what is in focus in your picture and what is not). I get so close that I cannot rely on the auto focus of my camera to decide what needs to be sharp and what will be out of focus. In fact, on this shot in the upper left, if i would have focused on the center of the rain drops, they would have been fuzzy and if I were to have used my auto focus, that is where it would most probably have focused because it needs contrast, by design, to work correctly.
