A wonderful world of details and colors goes undetected until we reach for a macro lens. Macro means in very simple terms, that it brings closer and larger what is very small. With a macro lens you can see details in flowers, you can also see the fine texture of some fabrics. You can also, and this is a treat on its own, meander into the world of insects.
With a macro lens you will be able to photograph such beautiful and crisp images that it will bring a whole new dimension to your photography.
Nowadays you have two options to start shooting macro photos, the first and least expensive is to buy a close up filter kit, and just screw like any other filter onto your normal lens. The close up filters have their cons and their pros, like most anything in life. Pros are that they are relatively inexpensive and easy to use just screw them on your lens and you are set. The cons is that you have a limited range of focus using your focus ring, you will physically have to move from and too your subject to find the perfect focus. The other option is a macro lens, this option is more costly but offers the ease of focus of your normal lens.
Which ever way you choose to go, I would encourage you to start experimenting in the world of macro photography, it gives a new and fresh look at ordinary objects like a coin for example. Or the rust on a nail,you will discover beautiful colors and details you never thought existed. I am posting some examples of macro photography, some I have done for clients of my studio, like the jean's tag and the Jean's button and others just for pure enjoyment.
