Macro setup

Just a very short post to show you the macro setup I used for the shots in the previous post. It might be difficult to visualize just what it looks like so here’s an extremely bad picture to show you that.

Come closer

Can anyone spot what’s different with the bug to the left compared to all other bugs I’ve shot up until this point? No, it isn’t that it’s a type of bug I haven’t shot before, it’s all about the size.

Should you get an external flash?

The other day I thought that maybe some of the readers of this blog is contemplating whether they should invest in an external flash or not. I’ll provide my view on that and hopefully help your decision along. 

Living on the edge

Today I’m going to treat you all to the view of my handsomely sculpted profile, please enjoy. Wait, come back…err, I mean, today we’ll discuss the quality of light at the edge of things…that’s right, nice and easy, you just come back here now…

The invasion is coming closer

The summer still isn’t quite here but I’m slowly starting to see more critters crawling around outside. A while ago I got up early in the weekend and went on the year’s first bug hunt.

Lost opportunities

I’m not exactly the most social or outgoing person I know (though I am, by far, the most awesome), which can result in lost opportunities that otherwise could have led to some interesting shots.

Know your limitations

It’s not the gear that makes a photographer good, everybody knows that. However, sometimes there are limitations to what can be done with the gear you have – knowing those limitations are important.
