Photographing small insects like ants, butterflies and beetles is not as easy and beautiful as presented on a computer screen. It needs struggle, patience, patience and thoroughness. Moreover, the insects are not a manageable model.
Simon Ringsmuth, a professor from Oklahoma State University USA who likes to take pictures of insects sharing experiences. According to him, unconventional patience and angle become the key to the success of photos of insects or macro photos.
"I once climbed into a pine tree, photographing a wooden beetle for an unusual angle, actually I could have taken a picture of a low angle when the beetle landed on a branch or branch, but shooting with the front leg expression was stretched, much more exciting," Simon as dilansir from digitalphotographyschool.
#Here are some quick tips from Simon Ringsmuth for interesting macro photos.
- The Right Lens Option
Creating macro photos or some camera manufacturers call micro photos, requires the right lens option. There are several manufacturers that offer specialized macro specialist lenses. Macro lens is very helpful to close-up the insects with an attractive and emotional.
Even if you do not have a macro lens, can use a lens that is owned now. It just takes extra patience to produce very close and detailed photographs.
- Do not Glued On Visible Insects
This trick may look palpable. What is noteworthy is the insects down to the source. Nothing else to find uniqueness and and who knows much more interesting.
"Every day, my routine can be predicted: home and office, and when it comes to the daily routine, it seems that everything will look the same under the sun, nothing special," wrote Simon Ringsmuth.
Simon also motivates the photographer so as not to stare at the insects that block / perch on the branches of trees, shrubs, rocks or park benches. Next time, need to get out and research the insects around you. Who knows there is more interesting but neglected.
"Sometimes I need to crouch down on the ground, straddle a fence, or perched on a ladder to find this little creature to look for the insect's origin.It's really fun, challenging, and a great way to get some interesting photos."
- Patience, Forbearance and Forbearance
Lots of interesting insects that will give you monumental photos. Unfortunately, they can not be arranged. You can not say, "yes," or, "somewhat to the left" to the insects. Inevitably, you often can only wait to get an interesting moment.
"A little voice can disturb them a bit, be careful, move quietly and not bother them," Simon Ringsmuth said.
Sometimes you have to keep an eye on insects for a long time. And after that wait, the insects leave you and fly away.
"This really trains your frustration, no one can guarantee when you go hunting, will quickly get macro photos, but if you get the moment, it will be the most valuable surprise," said this lecturer of educational technology.
"It's like getting a reward worth the wait and patience," he said.
- Focus on the Eyes, Do not Just Intervene Only
These tips are a bit weird and hard to do. However, if able to photograph the insect's eyes with close-ups, it will give a new dimension and an interesting photography experience.
As the saying goes, the eye is the window of the soul. Apparently not only in humans but animals and small insects.
"I'm not an expert on insects and do not know what they think when I snap, but by looking at his eyes, like getting the depth of photographing from other insects," said the man who hobby photography since this teenager.
How to get an interesting moment on the insect's eye? Make it look like you're watching or communicating. Then go into the world for a moment.
"It could be that insects do not care about the eye contact, but photographing insects really gives a very emotional blow," said Simon.
- Find an Alternative Angle
One of the big mistakes of photographing insects is from the front angle to the frontal. Perhaps, this angle will produce photos of spiders, beetles, interesting ants. But everything is almost the same and less interesting without the touch of a different angle.
"I once climbed up the pins tree following a wooden beetle for almost half an hour.This I did for an unusual angle.I can actually shoot from a low angle when the beetle is perched on a branch or branch, but shooting with the front leg expression is being stretched from the top of the tree is much more exciting, "said Simon.
This technique will change all the photos much more captivating. From photographs of people, pets, home furnishings, or anything else would be interesting if checking from an entirely new angle and dimension.
Well That's Five tricks how to take a picture or photo right, Hopefully useful And Good luck to try Good luck :)
