I would like to hear from the experts out there what they think a Marco close-up is? It would also be interesting if everyone that submitted his or her definition were read at one time for I think there probably be a difference of opinion there?

Well just to start the debate, I'd say anything within half a foot is a macro, while anything farther away than half a foot is a close up. For me that's a practical definition. I'm sure when we get hot and heavy on the technical definition, we'll see different opinions. |

I'm not an expert by any means, but I'd say 6 inches is a good estimate. Anything further just doesn't have the details a macro shot should. |

Maybe the distance depends on the subject of the photo. For example, a macro of the planet earth vs. a macro of a bumblebee would require different distances.

in my personal opinion, the closer the better but i'm not an expert and i think it depends upon the camera one is using. i've used 3 different digital cameras over the past two years; the current camera is anything within two feet to 1/2 an inch. With the other two cameras, i could only get as close as 8 inches in macro mode however, with one of those i could zoom in a little closer and still have a decent (ie, not too blurry) picture. |

A macro of planet earth? How many pixels are enough for that? ;)

I would hate to buy the camera for it. |
