THEME: Macro
The theme is about showing the detail in things. Macro photography has to deal with magnification of the subject. To accomplish this many photographers use special lenses that are setup to be able to focus at close distances. Most all cameras have this functionality including point and shoots. For many dslr lenses you may also take lenses that are not made for it specifically and gain macro style focus ability via extension tubes. These cause your lens to usually lose the ability to focus to infinity meaning the limits of focus may change from (8" to infinity) to (1"-5"). Please ask questions here or contact me via email/PM if you need help. I'm no expert but have some experience with several techniques.
