I found a small, light, tripod VERY helpful with macro photography as depth of field becomes more critical. Marco and micro are my favorite.

Our digicam has that very setting & denotation.
I was looking at some pics the missus had taken of her whole flower garden in full bloom, & noticed they all seemed fuzzy & out of focus...turns out she had seen the flower symbol, & misinterpreted it as a special setting for all flower pics, regardless of distance...

Same here, PF...I use a cheap lightweight tripod (purchased at a yard sale) for my Ebay pics, using a white backdrop & the "no flash" setting under a bank of shoplights...a great way to bring out the details of, say, a book cover w/o the glare & washout created by using the built-in flash...

I've found a fluffy towel makes a good, cheap backdrop, especially when something has to be pedestal set……….and you can use different colors when the contrast requires.

Bedsheets are good for that too...but I've had pretty good luck with the blank side of an old poster-sized calendar from 1993...

Sure..... sure. 
I know what was on the other side of that calander. 
Did she buy that as the reason you were keeping it around?

Thanks again and PF and Scotz, some great ideas. Camera's new and I've got a lot to learn about it and your suggestions are terrific. PF, those pictures were beautiful.
I think I have the perfect small tripod for extreme closeups. I'll have to try that.
Two thumbs up to both of you.
And, thank you BG1. Appreciate your compliments. A little encouragement always helps.
Now, about OF's idea for nipples ....

Tried a couple more close-ups. Still didn't use a tripod (lazy I guess), but anyway, here's what I got ...
You know, this is fun. Maybe I will get to those nipples ... |

The other thing I found with macro was the tendancy to wash out the pic with the flash.
If you put your finger over the flash, you can reduce the light and still get the pic.
The frog pic I posted was taken at night with an obstructed flash.
