Using Camera for Best Closeup Shots

Maybe you guys that takes such great pic's could give some of us tips. Like the different camera's people use, make,model,pixels and such (thats about "my" knowledge of cameras lol) I don't read manuals unless I'm looking for something
specific. I decided to look through my camera manual one day recently trying to figure out how to get better close ups and wow, I found the tulip. So maybe there are other settings and such that you guys know about. I've only got an inexpensive polaroid 6.0 mp 12x zoom but since I found the tulip I take much closer shots, any other suggestions beside buying a new camera?

Here is a tutorial on macro photography for digital point and shoots.

It's simple.When you want to take a picture you set your phone to macro mode,go near your plant or whatever you would like to shoot and set your focus(you'll notice the differences with and without focus) and then it's you

I cheat some times and put a magnifying glass in front of the lens. Shouldn't tell all my secrets.

Use flourescent lighting, the macro setting, and a stand for clarity. That is all you need for professional quality digi photos.
