Want a cheap way to do macro style pictures? Well macro filters or close-up filters is just for you. Close-up filters are available in different strengths(which is how can your filters zoom more). These lenses are attached in front of your DSLR lens and works like a magnifying glass. These are often sold in sets with a +1, +2 and +4 diopter lens. Two or more filters can be combined to increase magnification level.

• But note these filters is not high as a macro lens which cost more money.
• You can add up than +1, +2 and +4 (ex. you can add another +4 to make it +11 in total)
• I bought +1, +2 and +4 which costs around $20 dollars.
• Much cheaper than $200-300 dollars of macro lens.
• There are other ways to do macro photography using a Reverse Lens and Extension Tube but we will use Close-up filters instead.

Lets start by taking these filters off:
