You can catch all the minute details of the plant to the macro. The best that can be seen in the following examples. See how TV blurs the background and the second image captured by the macro to see for details.
Vibrations photograph one of the main problems encountered in this type (or what vagueness, the same): tripod. To avoid this, (if you are thinking of buying one, you need to read this before) is best to use a tripod. Ideally, in this case an adjustable range and is easily ground to a low level at the same level. Very low or trick seedlings, you can support your bag or purse or rice stuffing similar camera. (Check out this article, you will discover how a homemade tripod and other accessories). And if you shoot with a timer or a remote trigger, only minimally any movement generated by pressing the button, avoid.
Flash: When shadows fill with insufficient light, or when the opposite occurs, it is useful when the light is very intense.
Reflectors: are used to fill in the shadows. In a typical white aluminum reflector of cardboard or card stock or use.
From now light in this direction, photography and important; In addition, a very sunny and cloudless exactly what you need to know that the best time to capture the image of the plant. Why is that? This type of light of many colors and highlights Why do you want to take pictures, because the details are lost. Contrary to what one might imagine a very soft and light is distributed more evenly when it is much more convenient on a cloudy day.

Best current times
Regarding discussed in the previous section, the light that is in the middle of the day, especially at noon, it is important to know that it is very difficult. The best time for photography in general, and this is the first and last days are special. What I want is to find a magical golden pointer to the images Y, the "golden hour", known as sunrise and sunset, enjoy. Such images taken.
Look at the background. You can put color on a cardboard. Also, just a change of perspective and fire "view ant", you can use the sky as a backdrop.
Select the appropriate time, depending on the results we expect.
Fund or the same, use a large opening a small depth of field blur.
Most detail and low ISO shot to capture.
If the option chamber involves the mirror does not cause flicker.
Always notes, found to carry a notebook and pen for the name of the plant ...
If you can not choose the time and hard light, if you have some plants fit, flash, reflectors can be used to fill or you can find pictures plants in the shade.
Framework Plan. This is not a good thing the wind, if the plants are not moved, (and in this case, is not going away. If the scene means you can take when you want to read it does not change the structure.
Shot from various angles to achieve different results.
To compare the results of practice shooting at different times of the day.
Take the morning dew or raindrops. This is not possible, you also get a spray bottle and spray the plants with it.
Hit the lights to capture your silhouette plants.
Posters can use white or black backgrounds to get some photos.

In patience. On the first occasion, do not despair. You can initially be a point where you have to follow and feel great satisfaction bit boring, but if possible!
