I wrote an e book How to take Great Photo Adventures in your Own Back Yard" and one of the self assignments that I gave my self was a few inches of the ground. I took a lot of mushroom pictures that were great. I have a Kodak Point and shoot and it was interesting at least to get down low. But it was worth the backaches, logistical manuevering to get the photos I wanted. Go to Flickr and see Photogirl17 pictures and you will see how I used the Macro to get the closeups.
