What is Macro Photography?
Macro photography is the art of using your camera as a microscope to bring out the details of your subject through magnification at close range.
Digital cameras, also known as compact, point and shoot or P&S cameras, have a built-in macro mode, but the results are unimpressive when compared to close up macro photos from expensive DSLR cameras. 
Little BigShot Image Amplifier is a simple snap-on macro lens which helps your compact camera obtain closeup macro photos comparable to those from a DSLR.

Your Camera Alone
In macro mode, your camera can focus within one inch of a dime.
At one inch, the dime will fill about 1/3 of the frame.
Macro and zoom can not be used together, so this is your magnification limit.



















Your Camera With Little BigShot
With Little BigShot attached to your camera, you can use zoom in macro mode.
You can use any zoom level, so you can fill the frame with the dime, and by zooming 3x or greater, you can exceed the frame with the dime.


















Little BigShot Applications
Nature Photographers: Close up macro pictures of wildflowers, mushrooms, insects, butterflies, dragonflies, raindrops and snowflakes.   
Online Sellers: If you sell products on Internet venues such as ArtFire, eBay and Etsy, and you need close up macro shots of jewelry, gemstones, coins, stamps, miniature dolls, model cars and trains etc.   
Engineers: Close up macro images of circuit boards and electronic components; macro photos for failure analysis, training manuals, sales brochures and procedures.
