thankyou Paul .. :)
if you shoot in the early morning there's more chance that the insect will stay for a few shots .. during the day they're more active ..
when I'm looking for an insect to shoot I will have set up my shutter speed .. aperture and iso before I see one .. all those settings will depend on whether it's sunny or cloudy ..
when i see an insect I will shoot a blade of grass or a leaf or the barbed wire fence depending on what the insect is on .. before i get to him .. as a test for exposure ..
when I approach I move very slowly with no sudden movements and make sure my shadow doesn't fall on them .. the flash doesn't bother them tho ..
I try and brace myself on something so i move as little as possible .. and shoot as many photos as I can before the insect flies away ..I mainly try and get the eyes in focus and then different parts of the body so I can focus stack later ..
I prefer to shoot not as close as I can get and then crop later .. that way I'll get more of the insect in focus ..
that's just a bit of a summary .. :)

Harmonyby grahamgatorComment: just stunning ..!!..
the little hummingbirds are like the icing on a beautiful old fashioned 'cake' ..
this image really does remind me of a painting by one of the old masters ..
not sure if they were actually old when they did the paintings but the paintings themselves are very old now ..
think Rembrandt etc ..
congratulations on a great place in the challenge ..
btw .. the light and colours are delicious .. :) |
