| | | OY's Insect Macro Photographs - A basic guide
I was just looking through the recent posts on the home page and came across the article which was written by OY titled 'Insect Macro Photographs - A basic guide'.
It is a fantastic article and gave me a few tips that seem obvious, but that I had certainly never thought of.
I will make a conscious decision to try some of the technques etc out next take I take my 105 for a walk.
Actually there are some really good articles in this section but it says author anonymous against many of them so, bearing in mind I have been gleaning tips from them today, thanks to everyone who has taken the trouble to do these.
Here is the article by the way http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/in..._a_basic_guide |

Thanks Boddie for that link, there is certainly a lot of good advice there.
As i am fairly new to Macro photography i have been using the panic method. I will try to do better ( story of my life) next time.

Great article - would add for photographers on a budget, try putting a 1.4 teleconverter onto a 70-300mm 1:2 and get 40% larger, same focussing distance at a budget price. Keeping me going till I get the 90mm or 105mm. |
