>>3502155Macro begins when you go larger than life size, which is past 1:1. Like 2:1. To find out what your lens and settings are doing, just take a photo of a ruler with millimeters. If the number of millimeters seen on the ruler are higher than your sensor/film is wide then it is macro. doing a measurement shot is something you should be doing every time you change your lens setup. That way you know how much will fit into the frame and you can size your magnification to better suit the subject and composition.
