Macro/Close Up Photography

Macro or close up photography can be an interesting take on a 'regular' picture.  Although difficult to achieve with a point and shoot, it certainly isn't impossible.  Nearly all point and shoots have a Macro mode.  Using a self-timer will help eliminate blurs and having plenty of light will help as well.
