THE POWER OF
MACRO
A macro lens lets you magnify just about anything. A great way to explore the miniature worlds that exist all around us, macro photography is often used to reveal the tiniest of subjects.
THIS BUG WAS
MONSTERIZED
You can turn a backyard insect into a dinosaur with the right macro lens. That and some patience, since you can’t exactly tell a bug to sit down and pose for a portrait.
Don’t just capture insects from above. Try different angles for more powerful results.

DETAIL CAN BE
MOUTHWATERING
Macro is also the secret ingredient in most food photography. It’s the difference between a plain old plate of pancakes and a close-up of a melting butter pat covered in oozing amber syrup.
Food often looks better when only part of it is in focus.

THE EVERYDAY
CAN BE FASCINATING
You’d be amazed how interesting the most common household items look through a macro lens. You’ll find colors and shapes that can turn the most mundane objects into art.
Patterns can make for mesmerizing abstract images.
