(Not So) Macro Photography

After reviewing the other student's work for this assignment I wondered why everyone else had stunning macro images of objects like coins and flowers, but the best I was able to capture was some half way decent close-up shots, but nothing of very sharp focus like you would see with true macro photography.

Thankfully Tony stayed after class, looked over my camera and the owner's manual and explained that the lens for this camera doesn't have a true macro function; it can't focus on objects closer that 14 inches from the base point.
