Since I bought my Tamron 100-300mm lens, I have been taking lots of macro pictures of things. My favorite, however, is bugs. Those little guys are so beautiful. God put more work into our bodies than theirs, but the intricacy of their skin, wings and so forth is amazing. Bugs are super colorful and great on film, plus they sometimes pose better than humans, eh?
Here are some macro photos of some butterflies, dragonflies, beetles, and other little insects crawling, flying and moving about in the garden across the street from my house.
For fast moving animals and insects, I try to set the focus in advance so the camera takes the photo exactly when I want it to without having to wait for the focus. Of course, I could upgrade to a better camera with a faster focusing speed, but that would cost money, and that I don’t have.
