AAA Photo Session: Close-Up

It’s time for another AAA Photo Session! Use the form below to show off your most captivating capture of this session’s theme. Later, we’ll update this post with all the pictures we receive and feature some of our favorites on our socials. Your photo may also appear in an upcoming issue of Your AAA magazine.

Theme: Close-Up

Are you ready for your close-up?

Macrophotography or extreme close-up photography magnifies smaller subjects and focuses on the finer details of larger objects. So, you can get eye-to-eye with an insect or right down into the network of the fine veins on a leaf.  

This macrophotography guide from Masterclass gets into the basics for beginners. If you’re serious about getting better close-ups, you will need a special lens for your camera. For those just starting out, a macro lens with a focal length of 100mm to 150mm is recommended.

Of course, you can also take some impressive close-ups with your phone with no special equipment needed. Smartphone cameras get better with every model, but if you don’t have the latest and greatest, a clip-on macro lens for your phone can help.
