Macro photography
We’ll try to provide you some tips on
taking great macro photos
1) Can My Camera Do macro photography ?
You need to have special lens or accessories:
The extension tubes are used between camera body an lens effectively increasing its close focus range
they cause light loss because they extend the distance from the lens center to the film ( CMOS, CCD sensor for digital cameras)
they can use one or more tubes depending on the magnification need
Not all tubes retain metering or aperture
The macro filters are attached in fron of the lens
True macro photography is possible only with SLR ( single-lens reflex )
cameras
with macro lens.
