What is Macro Photography?

The term macro used to refer to the capture of an insect or whatever, that resulted in an image on the 35mm film frame (24×36mm) that ranged from 1:10 to 1:1 the size of the original subject. For its part, the term micro referred to a film image that was larger than 1:1 life size; micro photography could easily give you a 35mm film image of an ant that was itself larger than the original ant.
