Welcome to WPF Lessajinomoto - Duncan points you to a good thread that should help. I notice the photo of you in the Kimono is taken with a Nikon D40x. Is that your camera? If so then you could try a zoom or fixed lens with an extension tube - this will enable you to stand further back from the subject yet get good magnification. You will need to practice focusing on something before you try it out - anything will do - a page of a book or newspaper is fine. Then when you can recognise the distance try outside. I would also use a monopod or tripod.
