This tutorial will introduce you to basic macro photography. Most of the images on this site were taken with a Canon PowerShot S3. When accessory lenses are needed, we typically use either a Raynox DCR-250 or a Raynox MSN-202 close-up lens. We'll try to cover various lighting techniques. Some of the images you'll see have obvious mistakes. We'll offer suggestions to keep you from making the same mistakes. Since this site is going to cover mainly basic macro-photography on a budget, we'll try to show you how to get the most of the on-board flash. This means that you'll see lots of different home-made flash diffusers.
