Macro shots

People always ask me how to take pictures with the picture itself in focus and the background blurred. And they always call this type of shot macro. And i'll go all "huh??"

Well that's because this is macro:

Never this.

I don't know where people get the idea that Macro shots are blurred background pictures. Because Macro functions are always used to take pictures of tiny, tiny things. For example flowers, yucky insects and all that small, small rubbish. And anyway, correct me if i'm wrong, but as far as i know, 'Macro' in the Oxford dictionary, is defined as something very small right?

Right.

So don't anyhow say that macro are "blurred background pictures" okay?

Anyway, DSLR are super rad. You know why? Because if you happen to notice, it has the same function as our eyes but not as clear. That's why people buy lenses. For clearity, picture quality and the other 1001 super duper cool functions.
