I had never heard of this before and thought it was interesting. I found it while looking through some basic photography tips on National Geographic. I enjoyed reading them.

I'm sure some of you have already looked over them.
Here is the tip link...Get SupercloseWithout a Macro Lens
Close-range photography of flowers, insects, and other small details is best accomplished with a macro lens. Their short focal lengths allow you to get close to your subjecteffectively filling your frame with a blossom or beetle.
If you dont have a macro lens and youre shooting with an SLR (single lens reflex) camera, try this: Remove your lens, turn it around, and place the end where your filters attach snugly against your camera body. Zoom the lens out to 50mm or so.
Do not adjust the lens to focus. Instead, move the camera closer to or farther from your subject until you like what you see.
Its not a perfect solution, but it can work in a pinch.
