How to Click Better Close-Up Picture?

Last Updated :

The world is full of small tiny little things that are worth a click. These little things are small but big enough to draw viewer's attention. You may find these things right in front of you or otherwise you may go out to find one. Some of these things are so beautiful that you can't resist photographing them. But, how do you photograph them is a question. Many a times it happen that the close-up shots of these small little thing doesn't look pretty as they look to the naked eyes. This is probably because of some technical settings or probably your photographing technique. If you too struggle to get a close up shot of these things, then you must read on.

In this situation, digital cameras prove to be a great help. It is only because of their sensor size and optical design you can click some fantastic close-up shots of any subject big or small. The optical zoom capabilities of a digital camera help you capture details of the subject. The only thing that matters is that your final picture should be crisp, clear, sharp and well composed. Most of the point and shoot digital cameras are efficient at focusing sharply on subjects closer than an inch from the front of the lens. If tend to click more close-up shots, make sure that you buy a camera that has great capabilities of clicking close-up shots.

Most of the digital cameras these days are equipped with a special close-up shooting mode that makes taking close-up a pretty simple and a straight forward task. These close up presets handles all technical details for you. When you try to capture a close-up shot of a subject, you may notice that your camera is unable to lock the focus. This is because the subject is beyond camera's close-focus capability. To overcome this, just move away a bit until your camera indicates a correct auto-focus. If you own a DSLR camera, then the case is exactly the opposite. The degree at which you can capture the closeness is almost unlimited.

Which ever camera you use, using a fast ISO of 200 or 400 is very important to capture sharp and clear pictures. The general rule to follow is that the closer you get, the lesser depth of field there is and the more camera shake is magnified. Selecting a higher ISO ensures a faster shutter speed and a smaller aperture, thus it solves both the problems.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
