What is macro?

"The finished photograph of a subject is greater than life size" (Wikipedia).

Digital camera display (~3") is a good reference point. If the item seen on the camera display looks at least as big as it is in real life, then the image becomes magnified on the computer screen. You can also crop the image afterwards to make the item appear even bigger on the finished image.
