You may have heard about Macro photography or Close-up photography used basically for capturing little creatures like bugs or parts of a flower. You may want to try that, but also, you may want to get creative. Or maybe you are sticked at home (you know why…) and can’t go somewhere in nature. In this case, turn your eyes around your room and see what seems good to become a nice picture. Next thing you do is to try building a little studio on your table.

Things you need for your Macro Home Studio:
– little tripod
– white and black background (and maybe some other colours if you like)
– 1 lamp, but better 2 lamps

Before you can get those things, you can already start shooting something like this:
Macro Pencil

Note: The “blury” part of macro photos you notice is the result of DOF effect in macro shooting (see glossary).
