Looking at the world on a smaller scale opens up whole new possibilities for photography. Unique and interesting images are easily achievable by taking a close look! Technically, the word macro in photography means being able to take a photo that is a 1:1 full-frame-shot to film/sensor size ratio.
You can achieve greater magnification by using extension tubes, close-up filters, or reverse mounting a lens. Though the term MACRO is debatable, I like to think of macro photography as any photo taken on a much smaller scale, showing details and perspectives of things you would not normally see or take notice of.
