In this episode I will introduce you to a cheap method for doing macro photography, the practice of taking close-up photographs of small objects, like insects, coins, flower petals, or any number of things.
The standard practice is to use something called a “macro lens”, which allows you to focus at close distances, and achieves a magnification of at least 1:1 or greater (i.e., the object photographed is projected as life-size on the sensor). Such lenses, however, are very expensive.
