Part 3: Macro vs. Close-up (continued)

While there is a difference between close-up and macro photography,  I will interchange the terms for simplicity. Close-up photography actually involves the use of diopter lenses.

Diopter, or close-up filters, screw onto the front of a lens, and make an inexpensive alternative to true macro lenses. The picture below shows how a 50mm lens and a +1 diopter were used to capture detail.
