Macro Photography

Taken by: Calista Gonzales

Macro photography is very useful if you are looking to make the subject into a stronger focal point. The usual goal of a photograph  that is taken using a Macro lens or setting, is to make the subject appear clear and detailed while the background appears fuzzy. 
This picture of two bear cubs is a representation of Marco photography. I zoomed in closer on my subjects to make them appear not only closer, but be able to capture them in a clearer detail.

In this picture of a rose, I used the Macro setting and got very very close to the subject. The lens was nearly touching the flower when I took the shot, but I still managed to make the background appear very blurry and the petals of the flower to remain vibrant and clear in detail.
