Difference between macro micro and close up photography
Macro photography
Macro photography is that which is taken with a dedicated macro lens. A real macro lens has the
capability of achieving in the least a 1:1 magnification. Just because a camera has the word
macro written on it, doesn’t make it a true macro lens.
Close up photography
Close up photography, is the act of photographing objects such as flowers or insects in close
range so the subject you are photographing fills the frame. In other words, it’s the act of
photographing subjects close up. This is easily achievable with any lens, even a 300mm
telephoto lens.
pinhole camera
A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens and with a single small aperture, a pinhole
- effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through
this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box
Digital camera
A digital camera is a camera that captures photographs in digital memory. Most cameras produced today are digital,[1] largely replacing those that capture images on photographic film. Digital cameras are now widely incorporated into mobile devices like smartphones with the same or more capabilities and features of dedicated cameras.
