| Insect photography really is awesome - try it. |
Macro and close up photography is cool, and it is something
I think all photographers should try at some point. Okay, macro and close up
photography won’t be for everyone, but you never know unless you try it, right?
Typical macro and close up photography subjects include
flowers, jewelry, coins and other similar items, and this is what most people
go out and shoot when they first get their macro lens, reversing rings or
extension tubes. Some people stick to just taking macro photos of these
subjects and miss out on what is, in my opinion, the best subject for macro and
close up photography – insects.
Insects, creepy crawlies and mini beasts are fascinating and
since they are found all over the place, you don’t need to go too far from your
front door to find one to photograph. In fact, take a good look around your
home and the chances are you won’t even have to go out the front door to find
something suitable to take a picture of.
Macro photos of insects, creepy crawlies and mini beasts are
fascinating and macro photography equipment pics up details you can’t see with
the naked eye. For example, macro photography equipment highlights the
individual hairs on a fly’s legs or each separate eye on a spider. Life though
a lens is cool, but life through a macro lens is something else, and you really
do have to use one and take some sample photos to see what is possible.
Taking macro shots of insects, creepy crawlies and mini
beasts isn’t easy, but then nothing in photography is and if it were there
would be millions of professional photographers earning a living selling their
photos. Fortunately, there are some hints, tips and tricks you can use to
capture great macro photos of little critters and “macro – shooting insects” is
an article you may want to take a look at.
