Bring: macro lens if you have it (not required), kneeling pad if you like, patience.

Settings starting points:

– Aperture: f/4–f/8 (balance sharpness + background)

– Shutter: 1/200+ handheld; slower if braced

– ISO: raise as needed; sharp beats “perfect ISO”

Prompts:

1) Tiny landscape: make a scene that looks big (moss, bark, buds).

2) Background hunt: photograph the same subject with 3 different backgrounds.

3) Edge-to-edge detail: 6 frames focused on texture (no “whole flower” required).
