I have a friend who was one of my inspirations to pursue photography and he taught me a macro technique that didn’t require a special lens (which blew my mind). You basically remove the stock lens, hold it backwards to the body of the camera and try focusing through it.

Not going to lie I spent countless hours traversing my parents yard finding interesting things to take close up photographs of and got some pretty interesting shots.

I even remember standing in on my cars door frame with my scarf laid out on top of it during a small snowfall trying to get the perfect snowflake photo. Needless to say I only stopped when my hands were so cold I couldn’t press the shutter button anymore
