Lesson

ph4-5. Micro lenses

Video and mobile phone cameras can shoot close-up.

But for a DSL camera, you’ll need a micro lens. They’re available in different lengths.

We’ll use the most common, the 60mm and 105mm. Both are razor-sharp.

Here is the 105mm micro lens. It also is an excellent portrait lens.

It creates a telephoto portrait-type effect even just two feet from the subject.

This is the 60mm lens shot at the same distance, but the angle is twice as wide.

Include micro close-ups with your vacation and story-telling pictures.

It adds variety; no other media captures detail like a micro lens shot.

Practice

ph4-5. Micro Lens
Whether you have a micro lens for your camera or not, this lesson help you learn the closeness range of your equipment. 
  1. Choose three subjects of different sizes as close as your camera and lens will allow.
Study your results, send it in with 25-75 words about your observations.
