You want a close-up shot but you know you can't get too near because you'll scare the insects away. You take a zoom lens and zoom in and voila! you have a close-up photo of a bee or a butterfly getting drunk on nectar. Purists will say it's not macro photography but a zoomed in shot. And they'll scoff. Question: If I kill a bee or a butterfly so I can position it on a tabletop (maybe with a flower or two) and take photos with a macro lens attached to a cam mounted on a tripod, will the resulting photos be better? See, some people are so concerned with the technical aspect of photography, they lose sight of the substance. :) Consider this: You’re in a garden and insects are buzzing, hopping from one flower to another sipping nectar.

Hence, sharper and more detailed images because the lenses are configured for such application. The terms are often used interchangeably but you can spot the difference between a close-up shot and a macro shot by the fine detail that the latter offers. The devil is in the details hehehe. Interesting shots you got there btw. The bottomline is, with macro, you get more magnification larger than lifesize.
