Macro Photography Research
In this post, I will research different equipment for Macro Photography. In studio, I was able to use two of the equipment below which were the Macro Lens and Reversing Ring.
Reversing Ring is a ring that attaches to the camera in the 'wrong way' which then makes the lens become a magnifying glass that you can use to take macro images. It is one of the cheaper options.
Macro Lens, is a lens that is very simple to use as you just attach it to you camera and it's specifically created to take macro images, it lets you get close to the subject and get a sharp image and makes the background blurry. It is one of the expensive options.
Close Up Lens is not as good at the macro lens as it doesn't really allow you to get as close as you can with the macro lens. Close up lens is a very good option for you to start your journey with macro photography. You attach the close up lens to your normal camera lens. This is one of the cheaper options as well.
The Extension Tubes are attached to your camera lens as an extension, each lens can be used individually or all together. With each lens you get different result, as you can decrease and increase the magnification. When using all of the lenses together, you can get as close to the subject as you can, the same way you can with the macro lens. It is one of the expensive options.
The Bellows extension is an extension that can be added to your camera and can be extended back and forth which may look like an accordion. By moving it back and forth it lets you get as close to the subject as you can. The Bellows work in a similar way to the Extension Tubes. It is not really expensive.
Equipment that can be useful while doing Macro Photography:
LED Panel Light - to brighten the area you are photographing.
Tripod - to steady the camera and avoid camera shake.
