Macro/Close up
Close-up means you’re just shooting at a short distance from the subject.  You can use virtually any lens to achieve close-up photos.  Macro means you’re taking super close-ups of objects at 1:1. Meaning, the size of the image on your sensor is equal to the size of the item you’re photographing in real life.

Something Starting with “S”

Look for a subject starting with “S”.  Best avoid a Sunrise/Sunset’s as your main subject but they may be the background of your “S” subject.

eg, Station, Sign, Satellite (good luck), Silhouette, Seat, Smoke, Spiral, Ship
