Close-up photography, also known as macro photography, is one of the most exciting ways
to experiment with your digital camera. We??™re used to seeing things from 5 or 6 feet off the
ground, but it??™s a whole different world down there when you get within a few inches of your
subject. When you??™re within an inch or so of your subject and it??™s magnified to several times its
normal size, photography suddenly seems like magic.
You might think I??™m exaggerating, but macro photography really is a lot of fun. And just
because you have a digital camera, don??™t think that you can??™t play along.
