Don’t forget focus and depth-of-field considerations.

>

With close-up images, you usually want to feature your main point of interest right in the center of the frame.

You often have to use the camera’s LCD screen to examine your composition because the built-in optical viewfinder doesn’t show the image 100-percent accurately.

Press the shutter button.

Be careful not to press the shutter release button too hard, jarring the camera during exposure and producing a blurry picture.
