Cool one. I guess this is what is called "macro" photography for some reason. (Probably because it's not quite microphotography.) I've tried it a few times myself, and for me the biggest problem is holding the camera steady. One solution is to use a tripod. If you look underneath you'll probably find a threaded hole meant for mounting on a tripod.

haha yeah i know where the tripod goes xp

I dont have much of a problem holding the camera steady especially one this size. Believe me if you need to handheld a big Canon XL1(this is for our projects inschool) and hold that steady for a shot, you quickly realize you took your slr for granted x

Peace people. Dragons will come :)

Maybe it's not really "macro" then. My camera is tiny, and just pushing the button moves it too much in a close shot.

zoom ^.^

nice balanced shot, i like the contraste between the orangy frog and the green background. I just read your journal, on the sharpness thing, all lens are not equal in term of sharpness, some are ultra sharp wide open (with their minimal f/) some are not due to mediocre optic formulas. I guess you're using the 18-55mm from the base kit for this picture, its not the greatest lens from 5.6 to 7.1 however it becomes quite sharp at f/8 and above, if you're looking for super crisp shots I'd try to keep the f/ number high enough with this lens.

you do "macro" photography when you obtain a magnification of 1:1 or above.

A step in the right direction -- sounds like the term does have a definition.

At what magnification does it stop being macro and start being microphotography? Or is there such a boundary?
:iconkeeperoflight:
Thanks for the comment!! But its not as great as your frog shot :)

Yeah im interested in sharpness; i was pretty sad to hear that earlier, about the less lense sharpness. Yeah I also did find that it was awsome at f8 :) ohh the things you learn, but insted of using that camera for closer shots, im going to use my G10 and then use this XTi for farther away shots like the lemure one; because the lense is longer hehe. I found the g10 was sharper at closer ranges then this current 18-55mm lense.

got the g10 for an early birthday present from dad hehe though i thought he was getting me a video camera. but im happy none the less :)

thanks for the awsome comment!

mmh I can't answer that :D I'm not really familiar with microphotography, I know that shots at 1:5 magnification are still considered as macro. but, I'm sure if you look on the web for a forum or site about microphotography you'll get a definition.

My guess would be that you start produciong microphotography when you take pictures trough a microscope ...
