How do you get so close and stay so clear? I have tried many different times and it never works out.

I might do a journal on this one of these days... but there's usually a setting on your camera... Typically, on many of them, it is shown by a little "flower" symbol. This seems to be a fairly universal setting for "Macro". A lot of cameras have a little dial and the dial may or may not have the flower symbol. If it does, then you just set the dial to it, then get fairly close and click.

My Olympus had the best macro I've used. You'd put the camera in the 'face' or the 'landscape' setting, and then use the menu on the back to either select "Macro" or "Super Macro" (a flower or a flower with an "s"). In super macro, it locked the lens in so you couldn't zoom in or out, but it let you focus as close as about a half inch from the camera.

The Sony I have now is less easy to use... I press the macro button on the back, and I can still zoom in or out, but if I zoom in very much at all it won't focus very closeup. Still, once I figured it out, I was able to get this shot out of it.

Err... backing up a minute. You've probably got the flower on the little dial on your camera and if so just set it and then go try to focus closeup (but stay an inch or so away from your flower, dandelion, etc).
