' ' Macro (close up) photography can be great fun and can be done just about any time. You need one of three things to get real close up shots: a macro lens, extension tubes for your existing lens, or a close up filter. All three of these allow you to focus your camera when the subject is much closer to your lens then you would be able to with a normal lens. This shot wat taken at F32 to get a good depth of field throughout the frame. I love the vibrant colors that crayons have!
