Is there a difference between the 2 ?

How would you naturally phrase this please? Is more than one correct?


Are close up and up close the same ? Is one incorrect?

It is impossible to see object close up with binoculars.

It is impossible to see close up with binoculars.

It is impossible to see objects up close with binoculars.

It is impossible to see up close with binoculars.


Thank you

All are correct. 'up close' is used more often these days than 'close up', but both are fine. CJ

"Close up" is typically used as an adjective. "Up close" is the adverb. For example:


"If you want to get a close up shot of those buffalo, you have to get up close to them."
