[QUOTE="WeeHector, post: 345497, member: 14301"] Looking at the various macro/insect/spider threads, I am amazed at how different my photos seem to be from almost everyone elses. I basically don't use flash, as I prefer to use natural light, and do everything handheld. As I take most of my photos from about 2 inches away, I work with ISO at 800 and compensate for light with aperture, generally taking lots of shots with a view to stacking. I'm probably breaking every rule in the book as far as pros are concerned but it more or less works for me. So how do the rest of you work? Do you stick by the rules or do you go your own way? PS. I do all of my shots in the field, so I don't catch insects and stick them in a fridge before photographing them in a light tunnel. ;) [/QUOTE]
