Macro is a great thing! Want a picture of your entire snake? Just stand back and click. Want a picture of just an eye filling the frame? Set it to macro and the camera only a few inches away, then click. Voila! Macro is for super-duper close ups! (It's usually a flower icon on many cameras, i.e. getting a close up of a flower.)
Of course, you don't want a flash going off inches away from any eye. Just used that as a distance 'n' detail example. I must've already taken over 200 photos of Patriot.
