Macro photography

Macro photograph of honeybee

    Macro photography can be some of the most difficult work to do, but it is also the most rewarding and most interesting. Photos of this type can be difficult because the insects or other lifeforms only stay still for a few seconds. I know I don't have the best equipment for doing such a thing but I still love doing it, and as an old professor once told me it's not the equipment that makes a great photo, it is the artisan photographer.
    Unfortunately in this photo I have also had to add watermarks, which sometimes can detract from the photo. But in this day and age of cyber theft, and ignorant people who think anything that's on the Internet is free for the taking, I and many other artisans have had to resort to drastic measures.In some cases distorting the web copy to the point that nobody can use it without having to do major restoration. What makes it even more difficult is that many countries such as China do not recognize such work as something that the artisan has the right to own or protect. Until international laws are changed a great many creative people will be restricted in what they can create and who they can share it with, and the world with suffer for it.
