Do you ever get in a photo rut where you just don’t know what to take photos of?
Think about getting a lot CLOSER to your subjects.
If you have a DSLR and you don’t have a dedicated macro lens you have a couple of options. I am currently using the EF 12. The ef12 is an extension tube, which is just a piece of plastic that goes between your lens and camera body that allows you to get a closer focusing distance. I will write more about other macro options in future posts.
If you’re using a point and shoot than look for the flower symbol to put your camera into macro mode. Most point and shoots have a really impressive macro mode.
Are you feeling uninspired? Here are 3 reasons why shooting macro will get you out of that photo rut.

1. Shooting macro gives you an instant perspective change and gets you looking at things with fresh eyes.

2. Shooting macro gives you a definite SUBJECT for your photo.

3. Shooting macro lets you see details you wouldn’t normally see.
Do you like shooting macro? What helps you get out of your photo ruts?
Joanbn125 - Love the macros….. It’s been awhile since I’ve taken any close-ups. Your photos inspire me.
