Imagine what these would look like if you took the shot of just the passionfruit vine with a flower in the corner ? Wouldn't it lose its impact ? Would it look half as good as it does moving close in to take a macro image where the entire frame is filled with the flower ? These photos were taken with the flash off and on macro setting - best to use a tripod unless your camera has a built in anti-shake or you have steady hands or take the photo with your arms close to your body for extra support. Don't you think the second photo looks a bit like a lobster ? The beauty of macro is that you can take a small piece of something and come up with a fantastic abstract image that is pure photo art. Give it a try. Look around for something you can photograph small parts of, or in a different way and see what you can come up with. Click here for FREE shoot like a pro report
