Bugs, flowers and details of common objects are frequent subjects for the macro lens.
Depth of field is always a consideration when focusing in close on a subject. The newer DSLR cameras can capture multiple frames focusing incrementally further into the depth of a particular composition. Then the photographer used an editing program to select the parts of each frame to composite the most in focus results.
There are camera algorithms which will accomplish that feat when saving the shot. Deep focus is what you normally get when concentrating on landscapes.
The smaller the aperture is the greater depth of field results. This applies in the mathematical limit of a pinhole camera which has an infinite depth of field. Actually in such a setup there is no physical lens at all. Using extremely small apertures requires a combination of brightly lit subjects and extra long shutter speeds. “Fast” film will ease the lighting/stationary subject dilemma.
Not every part of a photo needs to be highly focused. The Japanese word “bokeh” refers to images in which the central subject is in focus and the background is not.
Such focusing techniques can be employed to great effect. There is also “reverse bokeh" focus where the main subject is the part which is soft focused. It’s not as common but useful, nonetheless.
No matter which process one uses to gain the effect, it is the final impact which makes or breaks the photograph.
