Top 12 Tips for Macro Photography - Backgrounds
11. Backgrounds
Add different coloured backgrounds to macro shots to change the look of the subject. These four backgrounds were all natural subjects but shot deliberately out of focus. Grass was used, and tree foliage and a combination of bushes and sky. They were printed to A3 on matt paper so there was less risk of reflection when placed behind the subject, especially if a mirror or flashgun was to be used to expose the image.
