Close-up photography is exactly that - an up close and personal photograph of a subject. Now, don't confuse macro (which I have a different post on) with close-ups. While they are very similar, there is one key difference between the two. With macro, you are essentially trying to make the whole subject appear bigger than it really is. However with close-ups, you are only getting up close to a certain part on the subject. For example, if you are doing portraits and are experimenting with close-ups, zoom the camera up closer to their face - or you can take snaps of certain parts on their face, like their eyes, mouth, or ears.
Here are my top 2 tips for experimenting with Close-Up Photography-
1) If you take a great photograph, but you accidentally don't get close enough to the subject - you can always crop it in a little bit more. Just make sure it doesn't make your resulting image blurry.
2) Experiment with different angles of one subject as well. With the clock and flowers, I had a few different angles to choose from for this post.
