I must say that I am having difficulty voting for some of the indoor macro shots. I have always thought that a macro shot is one where the subject is reproduced at life size or greater. Many of the shots don't come into this category as far as I can tell. They might better be described as 'close-up' work.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Anthony.

| I think for those who do not have a Macro lens, A close up of any kind should fulfil the challenge in my book. They should not be given lower scores. |

I agree with gringo, a "close close-up" is all my camera will deliver.

The challenge rules are absolutely clear on this one. Shot must be taken inside, macro mode must be on. That's all.
I thought we finally had a situation with no room for personal opinion - seems I was wrong.

We had a similar discussion during the last macro challenge. The thing is, many cameras don't have a macro mode to turn on.
If it meets the spirit of the challenge by getting close up then that's good enough for me.

| The macro shots of the current challenge are indeed interesting. I have some challenge with this myself - of course. With regards to the resulting pics - is light source and overexposure a common issue with macro shots? I am new to this, trying to learn and not meaning to offend anyone. My opinion is that a lot of the pictures from the current challenge are challenged with regards to issue. |

A macro shot can be made by zooming in on a subject very close. If it's a closeup shot, I will vote it a macro.

Thanks for the input on this. I am new to the site and was unaware of any previous discussion. This will help me mark more appropriately.

I'll consider it a macro as long it has that close-up feel to it. I am aware that not all cameras are equipped with a macro function, so I'll be pretty liberal with my votes.
I'll put more weight on the quality of the photo, rather than how many hairs I can count on that house fly's butt.
