One word. "Swee"


Can teach me to shoot Macro or not? I belief you use flash, how do you reduce the harshness of the flash. I always fail when using my flash.

#1 is a great catch. and #4 seems to be looking right out at you.

for some of the smaller insects, did you do any cropping? i have the 90mm, and can't seem to fill as much of the frame with it as you do

[ortega]

good as usual

i esp like the expression of the mantis

Thanks for your kind words. I don't think I qualify to teach. Me still consider newbie. But I love to join you for a shoot if time allows.

As for flash, the best way to reduce flash harshness is to use the LCD to preview Not happy, shoot again... That's what I do... I'm using manual flash so trial and error on setting. Another way is to shoot at av mode.

Of course you can do the same... in fact you could do better if you use tripod and watch the lighting. Glad you like them
