I recently took a class on macro insect photography. I love anything macro and think, when doing it correctly, you can really change the perspective of your subject. Currently the subject I am focusing on are insects, particularly dragonflies. The detail in this being is fascinating up close. The eyes and wing are of particular interest because of the detail. Most flying insects don't stay in one place for too long so you have to have patience. Additionally, it is helpful if you know a little about the subjects you are trying to photograph. Knowing your subjects behavior will help you better anticipate what they will do. This in turn will give you a better rate of success for capturing interesting pictures of your subject. Below are some of the dragonfly images I have recently made. I intend to continue practicing the techniques I have recently learned on other insects.
