SJP – Tips & Lessons

Hello everyone,

If you have been reading the steps on, “How to Photograph Up Close” then you should know how to process your photographs and have some basic knowledge on macro equipment. Did you do your homework and photograph in natural light? Did you notice that the closer you got to the subject, the depth-of-field shortened (less in focus)?

As I mentioned before…Once I complete this series I plan to write full articles on this site.  For now to read more of this article click here!

Thank you,

Janice
