Close-Up and Macro Photography

plants or a shady glen, that idea – a small group shot.


Photo Types: Close-up or Macro


This just means close-up and just short of the full macro 1:
photography. This makes up most of the photography I do,
something broader that 1:1 photography. This distance is pretty
typical of many of my shots, in particular if I am photographing live
critters. This is probably technically a macro shot, but as mentioned
elsewhere the words close-up and macro are now pretty much used
to mean the same thing: close. Whether the shot is less than or
greater than 1:1 does not matter to me. This particular shot was
taken with the Cosina/Voigtlander 125mm f/2.5 APO-Lanthar lens
which naturally goes to 1:1.
