If you've always been fascinated with macrophotography but didn't know where to begin, let me show you how remarkably easy and straightforward it is. And if you've tried shooting close-ups without much success, I'll give you some excellent hints and tips guaranteed to get you close-up pictures you can be proud of.

...By far the best type of camera for all-around close-up shooting, and especially for taking exciting pictures at the closest macro distances, is the single-lens reflex (SLR). Why? Its optical through-the-lens viewfinder shows the most detailed, accurate view of the subject, and the lenses on SLRs are interchangeable, giving users the choice of an amazing array of optics, all optimized for different aspects of the close-up universe. SLRs often let you select the autofocus zone that best suits your subject, and they're easier to focus manually, essential in close-ups where the depth of field (the depth of the sharpness zone) is very limited."
