good night steemit friends all, today I will post some photos of the little dragonflies that I photo with a macro lens, and here I will share how to shoot with macro lenses hopefully you like it.

CHOOSE THE BEST LENS
Focal distance of the macro lens generally ranges from 50mm to 200 mm. Although most zoom lenses carry a macro setting, typically the ability to zoom an image is less than half the size of a real macro lens, and the comparison starts at 1: 1 and no less. A 50-60 mm lens is suitable for general macro functions, but if you want a sharper subject, you should use a lens with a distance of 100mm, but the price is more expensive. For objects such as butterflies and dragonflies, the selection of this type of lens is very suitable, because the focal length is also must be more focused. A lens with a distance of 150-200 mm is the most expensive, but you will get a sharper image when photographing a flying subject, like a butterfly.

USE EXTENSION TUBE TO APPROPRIATE THE LENS FOCUS DISTANCE
The extension tube located between the back of the lens and the camera body makes the lens more focused and produces a clearer picture for a small subject. For example, you can photograph a large flower infested by a beetle with an enlarged lens measuring 18mm to 200mm and with an additional 20mm extension tube. This way is cheaper alternative than you buy a macro lens, which is not very suitable for use outdoors. Also, with the right extension tube, you can shoot your subject even more, with a closer focusing distance. Add more extension cameras to your camera, so you can shoot unlimited macro photos.

USE DIOPTER FUNCTIONS IN YOUR CAMERA TO MAKE LENS FOCUS NEARLY NEAR
Close-up filter is a single lens element that looks like a magnifying glasses magnifier on your camera. The filters are at the forefront of the element and provide an easier alternative to performing the function of a macro lens called Pukka. The lens comes with various types of advantages contained in the diopter. The close-up filter can be set to + 1 + 2 or +4 with diopter magnification. Diopter is also available in the Cokin Style Square filter system. Use the diopter function on your Dslr or mirrorless camera, for real close-up shots
