I believe they use "Focus Stacking" rather than macro photography.  Stacking is not so restrictive and gives you crisper images.  From what I have read at least.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

macro- just a general term
"Macro photography, also known as macrophotography, refers to taking pictures of small things at close range, traditionally macro photography is defined as any photo in which the subject has a 1:1 ratio with the photo negative"
blar blar blar

Photo stacking
"Focus stacking is a powerful technique for extending a photo's apparent depth of field, It's perhaps most useful in close-up and macro photography, since the camera lens's highest f-stop is often insufficient to render everything in focus"
blar blar blar. 

Quite a interesting and difficult set up to achieve.
Only have i seen better pictures on Big D from a botanist ?? ? who posted macro shots from where he worked in Hawaii shockingly good.  :) :)


no depth of field which afflicts most macro shots.


not macro but similar effect is used in HDR photo's, just alter the f-stop either side of the set level.

Such beautiful pics! Every photo I take from less than 1m (with any camera, mode, etc, etc) is blurred.  :D

Macro is very close range whereas Focus Stacking does not have to be.  I believe it works on the old principle used for sharpen images whereby you stack your images but only use certain data elements from each stack/layer.

I see what you mean though, you just meant the shot was close.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.
