Most macro photography has a depth of field measured in millemeters, or smaller units, and since a smaller aperture provides the best depth of field, shutter speeds are usually slow. If your subject is not moving, put the camera on a good tripod. If your subject is moving and you are using a long lens with extension tubes, put the camera on a tripod and use lots of flash to provide enough light for a higher shutter speed.

The closeness of your focus is determined by your LENS not your camera model.
Buy a Macro focusing lens, and you too can shoot the Big AL like your example shows. Though I suspect the pic posted above is using some sort of bellows and focusing rack set up.

ps. Note the very SHALLOW depth of field... a standard trade-off for close-focusing.

"Thanks John !..the crispness surprised me somewhat as i had used a 13mm close-up/macro extension tube attached to a 50mm Prime, the shot didn't need any sharpening in PS either. Oh, and no not yet, though i keep trying.. lol !!.."
