  A series of commands grouped together as a single command to automate repetitive and/or complex tasks.

Also called photomacrography, this is the process of taking pictures of very small objects at 1x reproduction ratios or greater. Macro photography is perhaps the most common type of photography underwater. The existence of so many tiny creates in unique shapes and impressive colors has made this form of photography very popular. Due to the close pr [..]

Macro filters help a regular lens to better take extreme close up shots, without buying a macro lens itself. A Macro filter , also called a diopter or close-up filter is very common to use underwater to allow taking shots of small creatures without getting very close to them and forcing them to run away. Such macro filters can also be mounted outsi [..]

Macro lenses are designed to magnify a subject far more than a regular lens can accomplish, being able to capture very fine detail in subjects too small for the naked eye to see. These lenses are used to take extreme close up photographs, generally of very small objects. As previously mentioned Macro is very popular underwater and so are Macro lens [..]

a feature of a camera that allows it to take close up pictures of object. It is usually best to avoid macro setting by keeping the camera further away from the page. Read more.

Basically, macro photography is close-up photography. Some cameras have macro settings and dSLRs users can pick up macro lenses for better close-ups.
