Photography is a visual language and it’s universal. Without a word, a person is able to interpret the deeper sense of an image. We are able to comprehend a scenery, emotion, and even a culture through a single frame.
A single photo is able to describe a scenario that will require a thousand words for a person to explain. It’s really powerful!
More about photography, there are quite a number of styles that describe a person’s point of view of everything around us.
One of the styles that never fail to interest the viewers is Macro photography.
It’s a technique that takes small objects or tiny creatures and bring it to a scale that is larger than our eyes can apprehend. A style that is best achieved by using a dedicated macro lens that has a minimum 1:1 magnifying capacity.
It’s a technique that is often applied in capturing photos of small creatures like bugs or a minuscule sized flower. The objective of this technique is to showcase the fine details of the subject that is invisible to the human eye.
When done right, the outcome of the photo is staggering. For the same reason, macro lenses are sought after by the enthusiasts of this style.
Since a great macro image has a high reliance to the lens that is being used, the price of good lenses are also one of the expensive type.
To give you a little trivia on what could be the most expensive macro lens ever produced, we have that ARRI Master Macro 100mm T2.0 F Lens has a staggering price tag of USD $31,240.00 (EUR €27,497.45) as listed on www.bhphotovideo.com
