Introduction

Macro Photography is the art of close up photography of small subjects. A macro photograph is made in which the subject is life size or larger than life size. A macro lens is required which normally has a 1:1 ratio.

Data Collection and Mapping

Field Procedures

Macro photography can be performed during field mapping and requires very little equipment. A simple digital camera with a macro lens is used. A tripod is recommended for high quality photos, but it is not required. There are many different macro lenses on the market that suffice for taking macro photography for geothermal purposes. In order to get a larger than life size photo of the subject of interest the photographer must be able to get the camera very close to the subject.
