What is Macro Photography?
Macro photography is a type of photography that produces photographs of small items at a larger than life size. Digital photography has made the ability to capture macro images possible without the use of specialized gear. 
Tips for Macro Photography Beginners:
1) It is important to consider the actual point of focus when working close-up with tiny subjects. You can dramatically change the appearance by where you chose to focus.

2) Whether using a camera with a zoom lens or a digital zoom, you want to make sure you're using a telephoto setting (usually zoomed in as far as possible). 

3) The best macro photography — regardless of camera — requires that you use the smallest lens aperture to gain the greatest image sharpness and depth of field. Using a small lens aperture means you need more light, so you need to extend the exposure time to make a correctly exposed photograph.
