Excuse me, macro photographer, 1. The great god who shoots insects with compound eyes online is definitely not using telephoto lenses. The focus is very close. How to avoid scaring off bugs?

1. Don't scare away insects: (1) It is very important to master the habits of insects. If you master its habits, you can know what it will do next, whether it is an "activist"; Usually around sunrise, insects are not very active. (2) Use a telephoto macro lens, such as Nikon 200mm4 macro lens, with the nearest focal length of 50cm and a longer distance, so as not to scare away the insects; (3) Approach slowly and don't make sudden moves, so that most insects won't be scared away by you; (4) There is always a bug that doesn't run: if you shoot too much, there will always be a time when you don't run. If you shoot insects, you will shoot a lot of waste films, but if you stick to it, you will always feel satisfied.

2. When shooting some inactive insects, the tripod can play the biggest role, otherwise, you will have the impulse to throw away the tripod; But in most cases, a monopod will give you more flexible operating space. Of course, the spherical tripod head is also an object that you can't put down. In addition, bean curd is also a good choice. In short, simple and stable operation can be done (iron hands need to be practiced). 3. The usual function of single flash is lighting, and the usual function of double flash is to eliminate shadows and distribute light evenly. In addition, double flashing can also make you more flexible in lighting, thus creating more special lighting. But if you don't have much lighting foundation, double flashing is difficult to play a role. On the contrary, it will increase your burden and make you constantly worry about how to arrange these two lampholders. In addition, the ring flash is also a good choice.
