Macro is great for those down times between shooting big mammals and your favorite subjects. Macro is close up, and ideally you want 1:1 magnification. It's hard to explain what that is, but most lenses are 1:2. Essentially you can get so close the object is twice the size it is in a normal lens. Here is a macro shot of a tiny flower. This flower is about the size of my little finger but it looks huge in the picture. I don't have the kahunas to shoot bees like you guys, however...
