The nice benefit about macro photography is that we don't have to travel far for subject matter.  I have four parks within 20 minutes of my home with unlimited amounts of subject matter to shoot.

If you don't have parks near where you live, there can be subjects to shoot in your backyard. I have a variety of flowers, pine trees, ferns, hostas and other plant life growing in my yard.

When it's cold in the winter or to hot in the summer, I can always go to the local florist, buy some flowers and shoot them in my home.

So, if you don't have the funds or time to travel to locations for great landscapes, or wildlife, consider being a macro photographer.

The most uninteresting way you can compose a flower shot is by putting the flower head in the top third of the frame, with the vertical stem underneath.  This kind of composition of a flower is what you would see in a flower identification book.  So you are just documenting the subject, and not creating any kind of art.  When you have one of these documented flower shots, give it a little help with a creative texture overlay.  I added the texture in Smart Photo Editor.

Landscape and wildlife photographers have no control over the light when they go out to shoot, it is what it is.  

Macro Photographers shoot small areas, so we have control over the light, using diffusers, reflectors, LED lights. 

That is a huge benefit for the macro photographer.
