Macro Photos
Macro photography requires an image magnification ratio of at least 1:1 or larger. You usually see this type of detailed photos taken of subjects like flowers, insects or wedding rings!
The image above was taken with a Nikon 60mm f2.8 micro lens. Nikon prefers to call their macro lenses, "Micro." This lens is fairly compact and I use it all the time when photographing wedding rings. I used to use a similar Nikon lens quite often when I needed to take close-ups of crime scene evidence as well. That was a manual focus Nikon 55mm f2.8 micro lens. What an incredible lens! But since it's Spring... flowers make an excellent subject to shoot!
Click on the image to take a closer look at the flower. Then after it's fully loaded on your screen, move your mouse pointer on top of the image and click on the "arrow" that will eventually appear at the lower right corner. You can get some really great details using macro lenses.
