Do you ever get in a photo rut where you just don't know what to take photos of?
Think about getting a lot CLOSER to your subjects.
If you have a DSLR and you don't have a dedicated macro lens you have a couple of options. I am currently using the EF 12. The ef12 is an extension tube, which is just a piece of plastic that goes between your lens and camera body that allows you to get a closer focusing distance. I will write more about other macro options in future posts.
If you're using a point and shoot than look for the flower symbol to put your camera into macro mode. Most point and shoots have a really impressive macro mode.
Are you feeling uninspired? Here are 3 reasons why shooting macro will get you out of that photo rut.
