I don`t have a big expesive camera so insects and micro is always a surprice. I have to come close to them and they nearly always fly away.We don`t have many butterflys soo if I see one , get ready
Being a little patience and careful helps
Honestly, I have only Canon Rebel cameras. They are not expensive compared to some I know about.
But I must tell you that I have to get close to insects too and I have some lenses that would get close but it is always best to get as close as you can and then allow the lens to do the rest of the work for you. f/8 is idea and ISO at 100 and shutter speed about 150 or so. If you can't set any of these on your camera then go with the program selection on any of your dials
As for this photo of a Red Admiral. I don't see a single thing wrong with it. In fact, until I read your comment I would have thought a real pro took the picture.
Great job! This is a wonderful picture of the butterfly---great clarity and detail. I have only gotten a few butterfly shots. I chase more butterflies than I capture with my camera. They are really fast!
This is a great closeup. I'm like you with the camera. Mine isn't expensive and I can't get shots others can but I'm happy they sometimes turn out well.
This looks beautiful! Ik merk dat macro foto's maken soms net zo goed gaat met een kleine als met een grote, dure camera. Ik heb ook geen spiegelreflex, maar mijn macro-foto's lukken best goed.
I think you have done a great job. Very nice. Keep going :)
My teacher (the photographer) always said. it's not the camera that makes the picture but the person behind it and (sometimes) it makes no difference what camera you use.
