How to shoot Macro! in brief..

Few words about ‘Macro_Photography’ (Enhanced version of the tiny world in 1:1 aspect ratio, A minute view beyond Micrography )
Select Macro Mode (Forget about Expensive Macro lences for a while and concentrate on your Camera only) which tell your camera to choose a large aperture so that your subject is in focus but the background is not.Now Set the tripod in a proper angle (For getting rid off from camera shake as well as to play around with different settings without losing your composition).Choose a small aperture (big number) if you want a large depth of field with everything in focus or a large aperture if you just want your main subject in focus. In macro photography you’ll probably want a shallow depth of field so select the largest aperture available.Macro photography it is helpful to have full control over focusing – especially when you have shallow depth of fields where it is all the more important to make sure the right part of your shot is in focus,For more satisfactory result “GO FOR MANUAL MODE”.Make sure your image has a main point of interest and place that focal point in a smart position in your image in order to draw the eye of your viewer. Try to select a non cluttered or simple background for your main subject so as it doesn’t compete with it visually.Experiment with different methods of lighting your subject.once you have your shot lined up and in focus take your shot. Make sure once you’ve taken it to take a good look at it on your LCD, zooming in to make sure that your focusing is sharp. Try shooting at slightly different apertures, with different compositions and focusing on different points of your subject to see what works best.And lastly Don’t forget about ‘Self Timer’ to avoid your Manual shaking.

Silhouette photography!

I always like photography with back lighting, Silhouette is one of the popular output of it.It mainly depends upon framing sense and a proper exposure control.

Different type of human expression, dramatic act, activity, shape, structure, modern art can be easily depicted with a little extra better angle of view. In fact silhouette can used to portray the natural beauty like sunrise or sunset also.The main feature of this kind of photography is foreground should be much darker than the background and the light coming out from the background area is used as the light source of the photography.We can easily control the amount of light in the photograph by maintaining the f-stop (exposure control) or by shutter speed.It is better not to increase the ISO because it allows more noise since the sensor gets more sensitive and as a result, picture having the darker area will get more noisy decreasing the overall quality of the picture.The edge separation between the subject and the background should be quite visible to make the picture more appealing.This technique is widely applied in studio photography while shooting the portrait with a proper shadow effect using a back lighting setup.
One more thing, try to fully cover the actual light source by the subject as much as possible to prevent the overexposed area.
