Wildlife photography takes you to a bit higher level, where you need an upgraded camera and a telephoto or zoom lens. The forest covers 1265 acres, a paradise for wildlife and photographers. My favourite photo spot is Vandalur Reserve Forest, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Camera is the best medium to take you close to animals. I always loved animals and wanted to go close to them. I would recommend using a tripod as it will provide more stability while you take the lens closer to the object. Other accessories can be used are macro ring adapter, tripod, ring flash. So the best lens for macro is 18-55mm, I use that. When you are shooting subjects from close range the depth of field extends as much in the front of the point of focus. Mostly it varies from f/2 to f/22 depending on the camera. Aperture is denoted as f/followed by a number. In easy words aperture is to set the depth of field. With aperture the most used settings in your camera for macro, it is not very difficult task to change the settings and learn about them. It helps to understand the subject, the light conditions, stability with the camera and use of other various settings. You are often dominated by nature while to try to capture something.Ĭoming back to the topic, macro is the best subject for a learner. It does not matter, what I have in hand, my pro cam, my phone I go clicking macro life.Ĭreativity and patience are the two pillars of photography. Macro photography is my favourite and I do a lot with it. Go close to nature so that you hear nature speaking to you. Image courtsey: SOURAV SARKAR, MBA-ITBM (2015-2017)
