It can require specialised lenses which can focus close up to the object being photographed. A number of issues arise. Lighting is critical. Camera shake at slow speed becomes problematic but the most difficult aspect is depth of field and keeping the whole object in sharp focus. In our work shop we experienced all of these and discussed way of solving them.

| Orchid lit with spot light Camera hand held close enough to fill frame with spike using 60 mm lens 1/400 @4.5 ISO 200 using external light source from a spot light |
 |
| true macro sharp focus is in wrong spot hand held using external spot light 60mm lens set to macro so focused in close to object at 1/200 @F 7.1 ISO 400 object fills the frame note despite small aperture focus is limited and on top leaf not on stamen of flower where it should be |

| Sugar rose hand held spot littrue macro note shallow depth and limited focus range Challenging to keep definition 60 mm lens 1/160 f @6,ISO 400 much better |

| set up inside light box to control shadows and light while photographing a small porcelain dog using compact camera. Result is high key shot |

| coin detail good detail but lacking reference point hard to get a feel for size again limited focus even on flat surface is noticeable focussed and detail only in the centre of photohand held using spot lit for lighting 60mm 1/125@ f9 ISO 800 |
