Good morning to this😚 beautiful community, today I would like to share again some macro photographs that I took of many insects in a park! I am practicing to improve macro photography with insects and flowers, and I have been reading🐦🦉 many articles and in all of them I find the word "PATIENCE". Yesterday I understood why insect photography requires a lot of patience! It is very rare to find a bug that will stay in one place for more than 5 minutes!😮
Going out to photograph insects is an easy practice because we can find them everywhere, 🤓it is very fun to do it and we find a great variety of species! a macro lens can cost us more than 1000 dollars but let's say it is the top of 🤑the lens! while a telephoto lens to photograph birds for example can cost more than 10,000, so I can say that it is a cheap practice!😁
We must know our object to be photographed, for example before going out to photograph insects🦟🦗🐜, I read that they look for the colors of the flower petals because it is indicative to pollinate so if we look for flowers with very bright colors we have a chance of getting more bugs!🦋🐌
While taking📸 several photos of this insect that looked like a wasp I saw the importance of 🌕the backlight, better to take photos when the sun is direct on the animal because if we photograph it cloudy we cannot see its details!😯
I amused myself a bit with the manual settings, for example my camera has😍 a setting called LIVE here if I increase🌷🌼🌻 the intensity, the colors of, for example, the flowers come out more highlighted!🤔😮
Any subject that includes🌾🌵 botany or animals, I always use my dictionary "my husband" xD 🤣😂I asked him what these little things were called that when they open they give the flowers and he told me that they are called "buttons"🤩🤣
It is incredible the amount of animals that can pass through the flowers 🌼🌻in a short time, for😮 example a single flower photograph, flies, wasps, bees, spider!
I discovered something very interesting I saw three spiders in flowers but they were always hidden🤔😮😏 from the sun, apparently they are more😜 sensitive to direct sun and must hide between the petals so check the petals before leaving a flower!🌷🌺
This practice is very tiring because when I go to take a photo I have to hold my breath😱 and not move, I know that it is easier to photograph with a tripod but I have not bought one yet! it really requires a lot of patience😅 ...
We must be very attentive to the environment there are animals like this reptile🦎🦎 that can camouflage themselves to protect themselves and it is very 🤔😮difficult to see them! every detail counts in the macrophotography
My lens is very good and I get the most out of it, for example if you look closely😁 at this photo you can see a very small green bug, it is an insect I don't know what species it🤩 is but it should have been about 4mm too small and my camera captured it!
