I took both of these photographs with my Canon EOS R6 and 50mm macro lens (w/R adaptor). Compare the vivid, sharp shot to the dull, low-contrast natural light shot. As you can see, and as always, light is a key element in every photograph.ย


Hereโs a quick close-up tip: Depth-of-field is EXTREMELY limited in close-up photography. Therefore, even at f/22 your depth-of-field can be shallow. Take a shot, zoom in on your photograph on your cameraโs LCD monitor, and check your focus. Remember: everything looks good on the small screen
