hey i see alot of pictures that are really close up to the object and are really really clear... i was just wondering, how do you guys take such quality picture???.. I have a pretty new and expensive digital camera but it wont let me get THAT close to the object without it getting really blurry. Do you guys have some type of special lense on the camera or an extra zoom device or some shit like that?

I'm not great with pictures myself but macro and light exposure helps.

If you have a new expensive digital, then you definately have a macro mode, if not a super macro mode. They will have flower icons, to represent the close-up function. It should be in the focusing options menu.

That will help, but you also need good lighting, a steady hand (or a makeshift tripod, which is what I use), and some basic photography skills to get great pictures.

hey.. i know how to turn the flower icon on and i know that it is very useful for close up shots.. but is the flower icon the same thing as a macro mode, or a super macro mode???

Yes. You may not have a super macro, my camera is the only one I have ever seen with it (but its five years old, so I would assume a new one would).

Have you been using that mode and are still not getting the type of pictures that you want? Or have you not been using that mode?
