Butterfly

[Brell]

One of my passions is macro photography.

Give me comment on this so I can improve myself.

Hi Arnold,

Similar to comments I made on this thread Two On Thistle if you want to present as macro, fill the screen. Additionally, to be defined macro the image ratio to sensor size should be 1:1, otherwise it would be considered a closeup image. What lens are you using?

I think 90-degree anti-clockwise rotation is needed, even if this is thing as such

I took this Photo with my Canon 100mm macro IS L lens. I know it is not filling the screen, because at a Other forum you ar not allaut to put a big picture and this one was the one.

I will look in to it if it is the right thing to do, all the butterfly's whear sitting like this.

I like it Arnold. Although it is standing up side down , we can't ask a butterfly to pose for us, can we?

That model has certainly adopted an unusual pose, Arnold.

I think I would look at cropping a little from the bottom, and maybe a fraction from the top if necessary, to create a different size ratio.

Good clear focus and exposure. The wing edges are becoming a little on the 'soft' side but that is often impossible to avoid with the limited focus depth of macro photography and just a single shot. With a compliant subject it is sometimes possible to slightly adjust your camera position to get absolutely square on to the subject but too often they fly away as soon as you move.

I always shoot with a tripod which gives me a little more time to carefully consider the overall composition and focus depth, although I usually take a first quick shot so I have something in my camera for identification purposes if I get a fly away as I adjust myself for a better image.
