    Hello vud091,

    If your camera has a macro mode or special macro lens, then you can take photos up-close. You will get much good information from the other people at CT. Here is a brief synopsis:

    Use Macro mode
    Hold camera very still / use a tripod with the camera timer feature so the camera doesn't move when you are taking the photo.
    Use a couple light sources & move them around to get a nice image. When you use external lights, you can turn off the camera's flash.
    Use the camera's zoom feature.

    Very best regards,
