Is there a difference between macro photography and close-up photography?

The subject is a real person who is willing to "show himself" with his own photos. Well done, subject. I'm glad to answer your question.

Let me first talk about my point of view:

1, close-range photography includes macro photography; Macro photography belongs to special close-range photography. Close-range photography and macro photography are backward compatible and inclusive.

I think these photos you took belong to close-range photography, but they can't be regarded as macro photography. Because these photos you took, although relatively "close", are not "micro" enough.

3. The biggest difference between macro photography and close-up photography is whether the photo is "micro" enough. For example, you take a picture of a face. The five senses are clearly photographed, which is called close-range photography; The same face. You only take a clear picture of one hair. This is called macro photography.

As far as the photo of this face is concerned, can you see one of the hairs clearly without enlarging it carefully?

Macro photography is usually shot with a macro lens. What tools do you make? This truth is not difficult to understand. ...

Sharp tools make good work. Macro lens is a sharp weapon used to shoot macro. Pedicure knife, can you boneless? Yes But it didn't work. I don't object to pioneering and innovation, but a game with twice the result with half the effort ... different people have different views, as long as you are happy.

Macro photography, can you shoot without a macro lens? Macro photography can be done without a macro lens. But don't expect quality.

If you don't have a macro lens, you can buy a close-up lens and put it in front of the lens, or you can take a macro shot. However, the image quality will be lost;

Without a macro lens, you can take a macro effect with the macro function of your mobile phone. The mobile phone is realized by "algorithm", and it is impossible to expect the picture quality to be comparable to the shooting effect of macro lens.

Friendly reminder of the three photos you took, personal suggestion, flowers with dew can try macro.

Dewdrops and petals are the most common subjects in macro photography.

If you don't want the picture quality, it's ok to take a macro with your mobile phone. Photography, the most important thing is happiness. Simmons can sleep and nap on the bench. Who stipulates that you can't dream when sleeping on a bench?
