Macro Photography

Wikepedia explains that:

Macro photography is close-up photography. The classical definition is that the image projected on the "film plane" (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is close to the same size as the subject.  Lenses designed for macro are usually at their sharpest at macro focus distances and are not quite as sharp at other focus distances.

When a bought my Tamron lens (70-300mm) in Singapore for SGD400 or PhP12,000 more or less, it came with macro feature which allows me to practice macro photography.  I took these shots on a saturday morning while Gwen and I are strolling in a rugged road behind our fish pond.

Aside from the fly and the dragonfly, these are just random flowers of grass and plants at the side of the dirt road.  With macro, they came out very beautiful.
