<span>1) True macro photography is calibrated close ups of subject to image ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 or 1:4.
2) The advantages is that you can shoot very close up, yet still be used as a conventional lens
3) Extension tubes allow you to focus close to a subject without spending the money for a macro lens. NO image aberrations are produced using them
4) Macro filters (called diopters) create a lot of aberrations, especially at the edges of the images
5) Flowers are accessible
6) It is important to know what each insect is that you shoot so you can identify them in the keyword you add to the image files metadata and some can be dangerous
7) Shoot insects early in the morning when it is cool. They will not move around too much, so are easier to compose in the cameras frame
8) Do this own your own.
9) I shoot macros as part of the photographic services I offer. They can be of gross specimens, stamps or coins, even jewelry
10) The challenges are getting enough depth of field, keeping the camera steady and maintaining precise image to subject ratios when required. Unless macro photography is indicated in the assignment, there is no special advantage or disadvantage to shooting macro photographs.</span>
