The Wikipedia entry is interesting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro_photography
It asserts that macro photography (or 'photomacography' to be more
correct ;-) is close up photography at 1:1 or higher magnification.
However, I consider anything in the range from 1:8 to 5:1
magnifications to be in the macro realm, as that seems to be the
range that the old Kodak manuals I learned photomacography from
talked about.
