This month’s assignment is Macro Photography.

Close-up or macro photography is a challenging and rewarding genre, but it requires practice and correct technique to get a special image that is sharp and in focus. Depth of Focus can be difficult. Use a small aperture and maybe focus stacking, however, small apertures to get bigger depth of field also cut down the amount of light on the subject. So proper lighting with flash or reflectors can help with unwanted shadows. Any camera you have will do just fine, including your phone. There are “macro” lenses that help with the closeup magnification but are not necessary. Composition is important too to exclude unwanted things and have balance to the photo.

Good luck, take some pictures, and we will see your images in the gallery and at the meeting slideshow. 

We will have a slideshow of the entries on the 30th of January beginning at 10:30 AM Arizona time followed by a preview of February's Monthly Assignment, Landscapes.
