Common mistakes which are being made shooting macros. TAKE MORE TIME AND CARE SETTING UP YOUR SHOTS.
- make sure you have a clear focal point
- make sure that your focal point is in focus
- some people are taking photos too close or zooming in too much in editing which is causing the photos to be fuzzy. On the other hand, some of you are not getting close enough to your subject
- keep your composition simple, adding 3-4 objects into the composition just makes it cluttered and makes it difficult to determine the focal point.
- If it is nice out, your best choice is to take your objects outside to shoot because the light is better
- Remember your photos should be edited for cropping and lighting before posting to Flickr
When shooting: Go out and shoot your object from 5 different angles, or choose 3-4 different backgrounds for the shot. For 10 good shots, you should probably be out shooting 30-40 shots. Take your time, we are not in a rush to complete the assignment. Below are some examples of solid macros.
