My advice on how to shoot an insect (with a camera)

in Visual Shots15 days ago

Hello everyone!

Today I will post some of my insect photos and i will share my way of shooting them (mostly using a smartphone)

I try to stay as calm and still as possible
Sometimes i try not to breathe

The difficulty is when the insect is on my hand
And i need to use only one hand

But when i have the freedom, i suggest that you use both hands to take a stable photo

When the insect is moving, it may be more difficult

You can also take a video in HQ and screenshot it

You can do the same with cats that keep moving

Butterflies are not always easy
You need to find their favorite flowers and simply wait

For me bees are a pleasure to watch how they gather their pollen

Please remember not to wear clothes or shoes that make noise. Move slowly, look steadily and breath lightly (or not at all!)

Do you have any tips to share?

Thanks for visiting!

One thing I’m always scared of is how to put the insect on my hand
God knows I’d be so scared

It takes time and practice !

Taking a HQ video and then screenshot the subject is new to me, always moving creatures require a lot of patience to photograph them properly!

Thanks for reading!
That’s my secret shhhh

Now, I know lol. You're most welcome :)

OMG you're telling me you use smartphone to get such good shots.. dearest you're a natural 🥰

Wow, amazing macro photos! 😮

Good evening and good luck to all of us. I saw the pictures, friends, show me this is truly extraordinary in its beauty.

So beautiful I have been wandering how you always get this stunning pics
Great job man🤝

It's beautiful the shots you can get with just a phone, because it's not just the device but how you do it. I find it very productive and educational that you share with us some tips for this type of photos. I fell in love with the first one in particular 😍
