Macro photography means to shoot a subject in size on the negative or sensor. This means that the image on the negative is the same size as the subject in real life. In common usage, however, macro photography simply means a very big up image.
Focus in Macro Photography
Because the topics of macro photography are often very small and the compression factor of depth of field on the ground must be very precise. For this reason, a stable tripod or other is highly recommended, even if you use a fast shutter speed. If you hand-hold the camera any forward / backward movement of your body will affect the focal point of the image. If a stable tripod or another is not an option because of the location or velocity of the object, use the shutter speed as fast as possible to reduce the risk of body motion change focal points. It is also recommended the use of manual focus. The depth of field in macro photography is often so small that only one piece of an object or other insects will be developed. It is essential in these cases that the "right" of the subject under discussion. For example, a portrait of a dragon's back when the insect is at home, but face out of focus is not a good image. The subject's face should be the focal point.
