Macro photography is a great way to capture the world around us in a new light. It allows us to see the beauty in even the smallest of things, but it can also be an expensive hobby. However, you don't need to break the bank to get started with macro photography. Here are five tips for budget macro photography:

That is so wonderful of you to share your tips with us and these amazing photos!

I freakin LOVE closeups of insects and even bought myself a proper DSLR camera to take macro shots like these- unfortunately I haven't had that much of a chance to use it and it has a fixed lens too, but I will still keep your tips in mind and maybe even borrow one of my friends old ones to have a go, so thanks once again for sharing the tips!

Fascinating creatures. Amazing shots @cottonlazarus, I really love to explore more in macro photography but I have limited resources to capture such subjects.

Same applies here. These photos have been posted previously, so I'm muting this posts as well. Please avoid recycling.

You can re-use photos all you like but either make it clear you're re-using them or decline rewards from the posts. The issue is to avoid double-voting on content you've already received rewards from, either from a curation project or same stakeholders. The window of payouts is limited on Hive and half of the rewards come in HP which means rewards you've earned from a long time ago compound and grow over time. Receiving rewards again for the same content goes against curation and stake distribution. People may do it on other platforms where their earnings are in ad revenue but the same doesn't apply here and can't be compared. With adrevenue the platform only profits from it and shares it with the content creators, here we direct inflation from people with stake towards content and users and reposting content is seem as lazy and farmy.

I did not mute you, I muted your posts, which is a different thing.

Howdy Cotton, I muted you from the community. Erikah was just the messenger to politely enforce our community rules and guidelines. Recycling is a Hive-wide issue and considered by many as abusing the reward pool.

I don't completely agree, myself, with the way many of the unspoken rules and etiquette are determined or agreed upon. However, reusing the same content, consistently for rewards is a bit much... and anyone could understand that.

My problem is that when you got your issues addressed by a community mod, you accused her of bullying for following our community guidelines, when in fact you downvoted her non-relevant content. If you consider muting posts in accordance with community guidelines bullying, then i don't know what downvoting for retribution would be called... but it's probably worse.

The issue is your content recycling problem, which isn't a new one. I (@castleberry) took executive action against you. I also was giving you the benefit of all doubts until you took your own actions rather than have a civil discourse, which is obviously still on the table.
