Macro photography involves taking close-up photos of small objects where only a portion of the object is visible in the frame, making it appear larger than its actual size. Common subjects include bugs and other natural objects. Specialized camera lenses, macro filters, extension tubes, and a tripod are typically used to achieve sharp focus when photographing subjects at very close distances for macro photography.
