I am sure set up macro shots are cool too... especially if you find something worth the time and effort to shoot.
There is a guy here (name escapes me) that has done some tutorials on macro bugs, that he has killed and glued into position. The results are fantastic! But I can't kill bugs... :D
I even hold my breath and squeeze the shutter button like a sniper.
Now you are sounding like @galenkp ;D
The shots are okay under the conditions, but I still didn't quite get what I was after - but then the question is, do we ever really get what we want?
I thought you would appreciate my militaristic sense of the description. I think i saw that gentleman post a few posts with the bugs and the macro shots. They were super badass. Another person that sets up macro sometimes is anitahorvatir
She is super good with photography and macro in general but some of her set up shots were really amazing. Cheers
I will have a look :)
Taking photos...honestly.
One shot, one kill. That's my type of skill.
Might be an interesting debate/topic, since there are also photographers who burst their shots.
I used to take photos at motor racing, the Australian F1 Grand Prix primarily, and would burst shots...It gave me far better results...and hours of going through them for the one I want.
Oh yeah, for Grand Prix, you got to be using those flagships with insane FPS! What camera did you use? But photographing a person, or a building, or a landscape that isn't going anywhere (any time soon that is), might be a waste of the burst :D
I had a Canon EOS 500D which did a reasonable job. Prior, my grandfathers' Nikon 35mm like the one below. I remember taking it to the first F1GP in Adelaide, 1985 (I was 15), with a pile of film rolls, and I went nuts. I had a 300mm zoom on it and borrowed a monopod from my granddad. I worked my ass off to raise the money to develop them all. Lol.
I don't have the camera now, although I wish I did, just for the fact it was my grandads.
