the august photo challenge theme at rock the shot is macro photography. i wanted to find something unusual for my macro shot, but for lack of time i gave in and joined the many bug/flower shots. what i will say, is that you DO NOT need the most expensive equipment to produce a beautiful image. i took this bee on a sunflower shot today with my trusty old canon rebel and 50mm 1.8, which is a $100 lens. this is my “fun” camera, as i don’t like bringing my “good” camera out into the garden with two wild boys. as long as you understand exposure and how to achieve tack sharp focus, you can create photographic art with any DSLR. i’ve even captured some pretty amazing images with my iphone, which cooperates quite well with sun flare. 🙂
