Getting up close

Macro photography was for a long time a very specialised field, but most digital cameras will let you get within 20-30cm and still be in focus. Often these "up close" photos will bring out a strange composition and view that grabs everyones interest. Often you will have a button (or menu selection) that looks like a tulip (or some kind of flower) to set your digital camera into macro mode. In anycase it is probably worth having a look in your camera manual under the topic macro photography
