Wish I had a macro lens.........kinda limits most peoples ability to participate.

Wonder how many had to google "macro photography" (close up photography where the photographed image is as large as the actual subject matter or larger), as I did?

Get as close as you can to the subject and crop. Most point and shoot cameras have a macro photo setting. This is not the first time macro has been a topic here.

I actually do have a macro lens and this is a good subject. Made me explore the possibilities. Thanks ranchwife!

Macro photography is fun! You get to explore depth of field and ISO settings, focusing, lighting, composition, and so on, all the while getting to see some amazing things up close. This is a beautiful example of the amazingness of macro photography...http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/photos/5348283/
