Most of the civilian-level digital camera with macro function, that is, without attaching any lens in the case, just gently press the macro function buttons, took pictures and SLR can capture the effect of phase comparable. SLR cameras and digital cameras under the same aperture, with a greater difference. Large aperture camera (like f2.8) obtained by the depth of field, change for the following SLR cameras may take a small aperture f11 was possible. The exposure time (shutter speed) / aperture relationship between the size of the digital SLR and the principle is the same, so trying to achieve a particular exposure, the digital camera can use faster shutter speeds, thereby holding possible. As long as own a digital camera with macro function, we can more easily be macro photography.
Following these words are some of my shooting experience and feelings, while not “professional”, but would like to give some love nature, photography-loving friends some insights.
1, according to the behavior of insects to determine time of filming. The morning sun just rose up, whether from the perspective of photography, or the habits of some insects are very good perspective of shooting time.
The gap through the tent to see the sky is already some light,Dell Vostro 1000 battery
I got up and picked up the camera, slowly pull out of the tent zipper drill, a few came in last night was a small light to attract moths fly out followed suit, they fly low, along the direction of their flight, I saw the sun above the horizon just jumped out. Thick meadow dotted with numerous wild flowers, seemingly calm, in fact, full of life, yes, this is what we dream of the best shooting time. At this time the temperature is still very low in the grass, insects are almost stationary, they have to wait after the sun rises fully to absorb the heat, the day’s activities will begin. This undoubtedly provided us with excellent photo opportunities, as long as you find them, could easily compose and shoot.
Through the night temperature, dew grass into the world, they are scattered all over the place: a wide or narrow leaves, delicate flowers, the rules of the spider’s web, as well as butterfly wings.Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Replacement battery Weak light may increase the exposure time accordingly, you should try to choose the most stable shooting position, the shutter speed is less than 1 / 20 seconds is recommended tripod shooting. The spread of the sun, like the curtain was slowly opened, when the soft and beautiful “Light” shines on the stage when the insects can not wait to start show.
A small gray moth looks down the slender grass climb the open area, there is no weed block, the sun shines on it nice and warm to him. Inadvertently, presented in front of me was a perfect picture of the nature described.
2, according to the habits of the subject,CASIO np-60 camera battery looking for shooting models. Moreover, you should understand some of the relevant knowledge.
People often say, “Splendor flowers”, in fact, like many insects visiting flowers. Various bees, flies, flower beetles, small beetles, etc., they are inseparable from the flower, can not do without this sweet food. If you do not have knowledge of certain insects, and are impossible to start looking for insects, may wish to take note of some flowers. Insects feeding on the flowers when the alert will be reduced some, we can more easily access them. Nettle this beautiful butterfly just keep tooth and nail, even though I shot at close range, it also unaware. Shooting photos of such a large color contrast, try to select the butterfly in the middle of color to the metering.
3, in the filming process, we need a discerning eye, carefully observed.
Many friends have asked me why they do not see so many insects? Indeed, the insect body size is very small, not easy to draw our attention, but also the use of “mimicry” and “protective coloring” to deal with predators, they try to integrate themselves into the surrounding environment, to our finding a greater increase challenges. However, if you are willing to spend more time and patience to find, I believe you have a very good harvest.
Show about a class is good at hiding the insects, they are always quietly lying on the grass, and the limbs stretch as far as possible to enjoy the sun. Mimics their own very self-confident, even if very close,battery for HP Compaq Business Notebook NX6140 as long as you do not touch it, it will not budge. We can devote more time to consider the composition, as far as possible Tettigonioidea long filamentous antennae and extend the limbs are taken complete. Large aperture, we still have a near perfect depth of field, you can clearly see the wings covered with vein-like pattern and that little eyes sparkle.
4, plus a little bit of luck, patience is a prerequisite for successful shooting some of the insects.
Nature photographer, especially shooting the smaller insects, careful patient is essential to find a little bit of luck will bring you surprise. Cicada species is more difficult to shoot, they either indulge in singing the high branches, or on it very far away from you, when suddenly the dense foliage away after a while rattling, almost does not give you the opportunity to shoot This time we need a little luck for help. Hot and quiet afternoon in the mountains, I am a man climbed halfway up the mountain and decided to sit down and a break. Inadvertently, found only in the ancient ginkgo tree trunk lying on the Maemi, which is about 20 centimeters away from my will,EliteBook 2730p battery and have no means of escape. Viewfinder I first look to see a cicada: a pair of stout front foot, abdomen, two mid-summer atmosphere of the tympanic membrane manufacturing sounder, and two pairs of membranous wings and strong – this is simply a masterpiece of the Creator! Shot using a large aperture, so that blur the background out of quartzite, and the cicadas who just simple and elegant harmony of colors, the picture gives a tranquil feeling. After all, luck favored by a minority, more or to test our patience. Of course, this is the fun part of nature photographers. Long-horned bee is a type of patience before they can take to the insects, they are always busy shuttling between the various flowers,EliteBook 2740w battery each flower takes time to stay very short, almost not give me a shot opportunity. I could only watch one guy who wore long tentacles flying in front of me. Fortunately, I found these guys tired to fly on the pine needles would fall a little rest, but the shooting is still difficult, they really do not waste their big eyes, little action as long as I will immediately take off. I had a pair of Dundao low pine needles waiting for the opportunity, did not think the other is nearly 3 hours, okay, the photos you want photographed, but also long-horned bees have a better understanding.
5, there will always insist on return, photography itself is not easy, insect photography even more so.
Mantis in the flowers was a big guy caught the Syrphidae, thirty-two to eat the most part. Game soon attracted to the taste of a group of greedy little fly, they keep flying around the praying mantis,price of HP Compaq Business Notebook nx8220 battery a rush to have the opportunity to enjoy a feast of doing nothing, and even the guy’s mouth fell lick mantis Fresh juice. The face of these nasty invaders, the mighty mantis no way. Large aperture virtual body almost out of mantis, mantis highlights on the eyes and firmly clamped to capture enough prey. The surrounding environment is complex, try to choose the vertical composition make mantis fill the screen, so that subject more clear.
A good photograph should first of Insect Ecology is a vivid picture. We normally see a lot of common insects, in fact, can shoot a good picture. Many people think that good photos, either bloody strangulation scene, or the type is very rare, and I think a picture is vivid ecosystem is essential.
Insects in their little world to complete a short self-serving life course: the pursuit of happiness, or spouse; or resort to force to prepare for hunting; or a big mouth and chewing on delicious food. All of these are happening around us, the real and very common. However, as long as the insect itself, With love, to understand their passion for life, we can use their own cameras to record the insects but usually brilliant, true and no shortage of lively moments, to use your own photos to give insects “personality”!
A little bit about the good insect photography tips: During the shoot, no matter how careful we are, in fact, are more or less disturb the lives of insects. Ants, aphids, animal husbandry, accelerated the pace of panic, a small beetle reduced to less than one fell to the grass, the boat kept shaking larva’s body hung upside down, leafhoppers quickly flash back to the leaves, enough to capture mantis raised, eyes dead death staring at you … … there are some masters of mimicry, camouflage their confidence,Compaq Presario v6000 Battery such as Tettigonioidea or some geometrid moth larvae, even if we close contact, they do not hit them, they would have maintained the original Some attitude, motionless, and you think it afraid of you, you do not disturb it, it is not true, just that they chew the leaves are still shoveling or cleaning the body comfortably, as you come, all this stopped. Therefore, we should bring them to minimize the pressure and panic. I usually approach them carefully, dodging the subject after one or two I would consider giving up photography. In fact, after all, looking in nature we can not have no effect on the ecosystem, it is important that there should be moderate.
