The change in seasons indicates the best times to photograph flowers. Photographers will have their cameras ready during these times of the year. They might head to the garden, florist, or supermarket to photograph blooming blossoms.

Capturing flowers close-up using macro techniques tend to produce the best pictures of flora. Flowers in close-up manner show its details in a picture which shows a sense of intimacy to it.

The tricks and techniques one can use to capture an extremely stunning and beautiful picture of flowers is by using the right methods with the right photography tools. Using the perfect photography tool with the right method of using it plays a very important role at influencing the way that certain image will turn out.

One of these tools is lenses. There many types of lenses, each with its own pros and cons.

Macro lenses are the perfect lens when photo shooting flowers. Most macro lenses can capture a life size magnification when taking pictures in a close-up manner. The len’s focus ring has a series of numbers imprinted on it. These series of numbers indicates the minimum to the maximum focus distance.

‘Standard’ focal length macro lenses keep the focal length in mind when choosing lenses, such as the EF 180mm Macro.

Short focal length lenses are convenient to carry around as they are small and light. This makes it very handy. An example of these lenses is the EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro. This lens has to be positioned very closely to the subject to get a life size image. The effective focal length is 96mm when shooting with a Canon EOS 50D or Canon Digital Rebels because their APS-C sensor and resultant 1.6x crop factor. Nevertheless, you are still required to capture close-up shots to get a life size image. The cons to this though is that you might scare away insects like butterflies and ladybirds which you might want to include in your pictures. Also, you may cast a shadow on the flowers while attempting to take close-up shots.

One way to solve both these problems is to use telephoto macro lenses such as the EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM. These lenses have a longer minimum focus distance which enables you to capture a life size image of flowers without having to get too close to flowers, thus will not spook insects or cast shadows on flowers. Even so, telephoto lenses are not as convenient for they can turn out to be larger in size and heavy. Getting a tripod will help you out with it.

I hope this article was of great use to you. Try it out and let me know. I myself have improved my photography skills when photographing flowers when I applied the above tactics. All the best in your flower photography attempt!

PLEASE EXPLAIN DSLR LENSES?

Can someone please explain the difference in zoom lenses for a DSLR camera. I am looking at getting a Canon EOS1000D which are available in a kit with lenses but so many different lenses available in kit I dont know what i need. I mainly do landscape photography and macro. I want to know what all the mm are for example 55-250mm IS lens and a 75-300mm or a 10-24mm lens.

The smaller the number the wider the lens. The larger the number the more telephoto it is. A telephoto lens brings things closer, but you get less of the scene into a photo. Just like a telescope or binoculars.

In DSLR terms what we see in our eyes is around the same as what you will get with a 35mm lens. A smaller number will bring more of a scene into the camera. A larger number will mean that you get less of the scene than you see with your eyes.

If you mainly do landscapes I would look for a lens that covers a range like 18-55 mm which goes from a basic wide angle to a short telephoto. It is a good first lens.

However, the best thing to do is to go to a camera shop and play with a couple of lenses so you get some idea of what they do.
