I've been attempting macro photography all summer - with some really awful results. I can hardly wait to give some of these a try.

pbaehr: What he means is "bugs" (or Order Hemiptera) are within Class Insecta. Hemiptera include cicadas, aphids and "true bugs" which predominantly but not always have sucking mouth parts and feed on vegetation. I too learned an interesting fact in college that not all insects are bugs. ;-)

A lot of people who I'll bet haven't made custom spotlight modifications to their equipment are saying these tips are too obvious. Check out the slide show for photographs of the custom mod equipment and results BEFORE reading the article.

That's where you're wrong. Photos are not about looking good as much as the content held within. Think of it like a webpage, with respect to that the design might be kick ass, but it's nothing without content. Pulitzer prize winners don't necessarily have to look brillaint, but contain brilliant and compelling content.A macro of a fly might look cool, but it's just the same as every other fly macro.

This came in so handy! I have been sitting on two unknown bug pictures for a month now and had no idea where to submit them for identification. <a class="user" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10824532@N07/976881726/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/10824532@N07/976881726/</a> I was lucky to just have done some reading about macro photography before I took these shots... And now because of this article I might even get them ID'd! Thanks!
