Introduction

Welcome to Macro Boot Camp!
This is where you'll learn to capture high quality macros in simple single shots with a compact point & shoot camera.  If you'd like to take beautiful closeups of flowers, insects, jewelry and other subject matter, then you're in the right place.

Read through the various sections, put them into practice, and interact with us on Facebook where you can get answers to your questions and friendly, helpful critique on your macro images from fellow macro amateurs.  Since it's a social and learning group, you'll likely make many new friends along the way.

It really doesn't matter which camera you have.  All that matters is learning how to use it to create image beauty by cultivating the union between photographer and camera.

Photography is a personal artistic hobby.  Make time to enjoy your hobby on a daily basis.  If you have a busy life, turn off the TV for an hour and do some shooting.  Is the weather wet or cold?  I have a saying . . . it goes like this . . . "I never allow the weather to prevent me from enjoying the weather".  If it's cold, I shoot frost, ice and snowflake macros.  If it's wet, I shoot raindrop macros.  It's my favorite personal hobby and I let other less important things slide in order make time to enjoy it.

I hope you've found this information helpful, and feel free to join our Facebook group where you can socialize with your fellow macronados!
