I really love photography in general especially while using my Nikon cameras, but what I love even more is Macro photography. If you ever take a look at a website online or a photography book that has photos, you will begin to realize how this kind of "art" has become such a favorite amongst photographers and art lovers alike. This type of shot is all about focusing up close on a subject and taking a clear and concise photo. Usually this is done with subjects that you would WANT to see up close and that stand still such as flowers, bugs, insects, birds, frogs or any other "smallish" animal or subject.
I love the whole flower macro shots, they are my favorites by far! There is ONE main guideline on how to take the best macros you can. First off, it's important (if possible) to NOT be right up on your subject. This is more about comfort than anything else, although some cameras simply do not do well when it comes to being close to a subject - especially "macro" close! Some cameras won't allow for this and you have to be an inch or so away from the subject. I bought a Fuji cam that made me have to position myself like this.
And let me tell ya, visiting a botanical garden in the outskirts of downtown Pittsburgh, on your belly, staring at something YOU find to be particularly interesting, but no one else knows what the hell you’re looking at - takes a certain person because you get some weird looks! If you do get a camera, make sure it has interchangeable lenses and that you actually buy a macro lens. You will still have to be close to the subject, but not 1.5 inches! I seem to have a lot of luck with macro images when it comes to Nikon cameras and Canon SLR cameras, so hopefully you will too!
