I am newbie here and would like to know what is required to take macro photography. I have seen pictures of flies and insects that are taken very close and they show a lot of details. I would like to take such photographs. I have a D90 and a 18-55 lens that came along with the camera. I have tried to take macro using this lens, by getting close to the object, but could not get the desired results. So please help.
Thanks in advance.
