I love taking macro shots but just am’nt sure if my lense is up to it. Is an 18-55 allright for taking basic macro shots? If so are there any other techniques/tips you guys use when taking them? What sort of arpeture,shutterspeed and the rest would you take yours at?
your kit lens really isnt gonna get you much joy in the macro world. as a start id recommend you get yourself a set (they usualy come in 3’s) of extension tubes (kenko are good and reasonably cheap) and a tripod. this will give you the opportunity to increase the amount of magnification you’ve got at your disposal. i got a set for christmas and have been using them with my nifty fifty and im really happy with some of the shots ive captured (posted some on this forum just now)
