Super Macro Shots with the Olympus C-5050 Zoom / Icicle on branch

Most non-professional photographers typically take pictures at special events (weddings, graduations, birthdays, holidays) of family and friends, or when traveling on vacations. It's not as common for people to take pictures of ordinary scenes or objects. But once a person has discovered the joys of shooting digital macro shots, the once uninteresting, everyday objects suddenly become exciting new worlds to explore.

This lesson uses an Olympus C-5050 Zoom to demonstrate the ease and simplicity of taking Super Macro shots outdoors.
