Ever since I was a wee little boy, I have liked to take pictures. With the introduction of digital cameras this has taken on a whole new level. I now have access to some of the stuff once reserved for the pros. Now, I have had my digital camera for a year or so, but until recently I had never really played with all those features. I came across an article (Macro Photography - It’s the Little Things That Count) that showed how easy it is to do those extreme closeups, which has been on my photography wish list.

It’s easy. I changed my camera to macro mode (the little flower), turned off the flash to get rid of the glare, and then after a few blurry trails I also set the two second timer so that I could get steady again before the photo is actually snapped. Awesome! I always wondered how you get those pics and now I have something new to play with.
