How to shoot macro with Canon 600d 18- 135 lens?

This configuration is difficult to take a macro effect.

"Macro" refers to shooting at close range with a large magnification, and the human eye often can't see the object close to 15cm clearly.

The optical school of professional macro lens is designed according to the needs of close-up. According to German industrial standards, the imaging scale is greater than 1: 1, which is called macro photography. The dandelion on the right shows an image as big as the scene on the negative.

As a matter of fact, it is internationally recognized in the photography field that the images with the ratio of1:1:4 belong to macro photography, while those with the ratio of10:1~ 200:1belong to macro photography.
