LEARNING TO PHOTOGRAPH FLOWERS 08/09/2025

Close-up photography is a broader term for getting near to a subject, but not necessarily at that life-size scale. My versatile Sony 70-200mm GII lens, for example, has a fantastic close-up capability. It can’t get to 1:1, but it allows me to fill the frame with a beautiful flower head from a more comfortable distance, beautifully isolating it from the background. Similarly, the “macro” setting on my Leica Q3 is a brilliant close-focusing feature that lets me get much nearer to my subjects than the lens normally would.
