PRO SHOT
Broad-bodied Chaser
Getting exposure correct is vital for shots like this Broad-bodied Chaser at Abney Hall Park in Stockport, UK.
Good exposure is vital in all genres of photography, of course, but macro has its own challenges. One is achieving a fast enough shutter speed to avoid blur due to movement; another is lighting the subject in a way that not only allows for adequate exposure of the image, but which is flattering to the subject.
“If you are shooting insects in flight, you need shutter speeds in the thousandths of a second range”
