Re: The Dark Knight (my roots are showing)
Brian I think CiC should start a series of videos on specific skills, and if they did I would nominate you to do one of photographing insects and other small creatures. You are a master...

Re: The Dark Knight (my roots are showing)
If my memory serves me I've shot somewhere between 15 and 25 thousand shots of wee beasties. Enough practice is bound to improve anyones skills. I dare say there are better close up bug shooters here than me.

Re: The Dark Knight (my roots are showing)
Great shot Brian... Shooting the wee beastie in profile like this solves a lot of problems concerning lack of depth of field in macro work. The black background accentuates the insects coloring...

Re: The Dark Knight (my roots are showing)
The new location has a green bg one way and dark shadowy stones the other way. I should like to get a shot from the rear quarter to catch the head neck connection. Originally Posted by rpcrowe
