Macro photography

[Daos]

Macro photography is close-up photography. The classical definition is that the image projected on the "film plane" (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is close to the same size as the subject. Lenses designed for macro are usually at their sharpest at macro focus distances and are not quite as sharp at other focus distances.

Now take a look at some of John Hallmen (http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnhallmen/)'s photos:

Very cool, when I saw the picture with a fly I automatically thought about Lexx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexx).
