Macro photography is an extremely detailed closeup of the smaller things in the world. To do this you will need a macro lens extension. Exposure becomes difficult with this style because of the extreme zoom. It also requires a steady hand and some good timing. You typically want to put your focal adjustment in manual mode and move back and forth to find the right exposure. I take burst shots when I do this because it is difficult to stay in the same place long enough to take a photo.
