You are using 1/15 - 1/60s for all the shots!!! You are making really making me feel lousy.

Superb background for all the shots and very well-focused.

Do you have to import all these images into Photoshop for retouching and correction of colors? Or you can just use the pictures directly as it was shot from camera?

Yes. I put the borders using PS and do slight USM.

In fact, outside my studio is a open garden, after raining, a lot of little insects will come out, together with bees, snails, frogs, worms, whatever, sometimes I feel like being teleported to the Botanical Garden.

I shot butterflys and dragonflys before, but lost patience while waiting and waiting. Sometimes spent the whole morning could only get 1 or 2 shots.

Lovely shots. Did you use flash? I wonder how you cut down the reflection from the shell.

Thanks. I did use a flash for these shots. Compensated to atleast -1stop, with omnibounce and handheld away from the subject.
