[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 414349, member: 9753"] [SIZE=5]EDIT: I have written this quick blog on my website. [url=http://scotthmurray.com/blog/]Blog | Scott H Murray Photography[/url][/SIZE] Ok this should be made a sticky to start off with. I am going to try and capture all my findings and trials and tribulations with macro photography in this one thread as we have got too many and one more wont hurt ;) I am also going to 'try' and video my style when taking 1:1 macro photography and then even at a greater magnification. To start off you need great light and instant light for a nice clear macro shot, there are many people that use natural light. But bugs being bugs tend to come under lights so we need to make up for that and introduce our own light to produce images that we are after. Basic settings are these: ISO: 100 - 400 Shutter Speed: 1/200 - 1/400 Aperture: F/2.8 - F/16 So as you can see you can use alot of different settings and get a good result. Stay tuned for other hints and tips, there are also many others that take great macros and should have their own input. BUT I do not want it a debate, just positive proof of good technique and good equipment. If we get anything untoward then it will be deleted, no questions. This is my current macro setup. [ATTACH=CONFIG]139623._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]139624._xfImport[/ATTACH] And the result with this simple setup. By the way this is the one I use mostly as its good and very portable. But requires built in flash. [ATTACH=CONFIG]139625._xfImport[/ATTACH] And I am trialling this but it is much heavier and harder to get into tight places. [ATTACH=CONFIG]139627._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]139628._xfImport[/ATTACH] And the result. [ATTACH=CONFIG]139629._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
