MagicNikon Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · How do you not scare away the bugs? Okay, just like it says... I understand the concept of working distance and using a longer FL lens, but some of the amazing super close-up bug portraits are amazing. How do you keep the bugs still? How do you not scare them away? Macro shooting, being fidgety as it is...requiring a tripod and delicate focus...how do you masters achieve all of this without the wasp, bee, hopper, fly leaving your scene?

Mark Edell Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · How do you not scare away the bugs? Never look it in the eye as you approach Seriously... Approach slowly, try to find an area rich in bugs, sit and look. I can go out to my wife's flower garden and just sit down. I have found that that I can sin in an area that seems to have nothing in it and then realize that there is a bug on that flower, oh, there is another one on that branch... Tripod?? Have rock, will travel The only time I use a tripod is when shooting the things that will sit there in one spot for a long time, Crab spiders, leaf hoppers... Jul 03, 2009 at 01:29 PM
