Welcome to the inaugural entry of the ‘On the Road to Great Light’ blog. This blog will serve as a platform to share ideas, tips, tricks and techniques for lighting your subjects. I hope you will find it informative and entertaining – and most of all, inspire you to create your own photographic works of art.
Macro lenses open up a tiny world of overlooked beauty and bring it to our attention. Nature comes to life in the details of the tiniest insects, the secret inner workings of flowers, and in your own reflection in a crystal clear drop of dew. The tiny world of macro photography is an exciting adventure into the seldom-noticed “little worlds” that surround us every day. Macro camera lenses make these amazing images of the world’s tiny pieces possible. Once you enter the world of macro photography, every flower petal becomes your backdrop and every insect is a personal challenge. Looking for tiny “things” to photograph will find on your hands and knees crawling around in the most unlikely places, but that is the beauty of macro photography. A raindrop becomes a canvas and an icicle can mirror a forest in the world of macro photography.
