-• Macro photography is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size.  (Wikipedia) +
-• Rob Shephard’s Definition: Macro photography is photography that gets so close that the image area being captured is at most 2”x2”. This can be done with any lens, any camera, any focal length that allows you to find an image area 2”x2” or smaller. +
-• Tip: What does macro and micro refer to when it comes to photography?  +
-The word macro means big, whereas the word micro means small. So how is it that these two terms related? If the subject you are photographing is small and you want to make it look big, you end up with a “macro” view of a “micro” subject.+

 +Note 2: Entrants are cautioned that the sentence on arranged events or activities includes any images that appear to be arranged to the judges even though the judges will give benefit of the doubt to the maker. Entrants are therefore advised that such images may well be disqualified (DQed).
