Compositional Trick #3: Macro

The macro funtion on the camera is the button that looks like a little flower on the bitton. What macro does is it lets you zoom in on the little things in the world, so that you can focus on what you want it to be. You don't want to zoom in on something really really close because the picture isn't always going to come out right.

Depth of field is how far you can see into the picture. When you have a deep depth of field the things in the picture pull you in farther into it that for you to just look at one thing. A shallow depth of field like the one that I used is when there aren't things in the picture that pull you into it, all you see is what the photographer wants you to see.

Macro would be used when you want to take a picture of a small object that a human being would not be able to see with their own eyes. Sometimes when someone takes a picture with macro it's hard for someone to figure out what it is.
