Key Components for winning Images

Typically macro images are of ‘natural’ subjects because so few man-made objects are created to exhibit a level of detail that the eye cannot see.

•  Examples of macro images of ‘natural subjects’ would be where you can see the individual hairs on a bee or pollen grains on the stamen of a flower.
• Examples of ‘man-made’ macro subjects could be microscopic electronic or mechanical components.
• The subject can be a small object, or a close up view of a larger object.
• Note: For a Macro image you do not necessarily need a specialised macro lens. Macro lenses only allow you to get closer to the subject to achieve a highly detailed image. But this high detail can also be achieved using a longer zoom lens located at a greater distance from the subject or even a camera integrated with a microscope.
