This. It filled up my whole monitor (with the image at only 24%), making it MUCH larger than a real bottle of beer. If viewed on the wrong (read: small) screen those mushrooms might not be larger than actual size either.

I have always used the assumption that macro meant super close-up. No math involved, no deep thought or consideration. Just a real close-up shot. With the focal lengths being what they are on certain smartphone cameras, this might not be possible- but we try!
