Macro Photography Tutorial

My lens has a magnification of 1:4. Can it be used for macro photography?

Not exactly, no. If you are photographing your subject at or close to the lens' minimum focus distance then you can crop it out into tighter space to get similar results as photographed at 1:1X magnification.

Whats the number. Well. hwo played it. Know the number XD

Huh?

@Lilkiwiguy87 Meant the song ;)
Nice tut by the way :)

Why do you always remove the filter?

For this case, to prevent hazing coming from the reflections on the subject (Hot Wheels motorcycle).

Covering viewfinder helps camera to calculate shutter speed correctly in Av mode (set F if in Tv mode). You may try to check it at home. Just turn on your camera w/o taking off the lens cap. Firstly close viewfinder form direct light. then open it. You will get nice difference. e.g. 30" vs 5". or something like that.

Why such high ISO?

ISO 640 isn't even high, try ISO 6400. This tutorial doesn't require you to follow every steps, just set your preferred ISO and voila.
