Another one in my little series. Here is the shooting information: Mode: Manual exposure Tv(shutter speed): 1/200 Av(Aperature value): 32 ISO speed: 200 Focal length: 60mm White balance: flash The technique to do this? Combine full sunlight with a very close flash (distance between the flash and the bug was about 8 inches). The sun hood has to be taken of the lens, for it will block the flash at such a close range! The trick is of course to determine the manual settings before you approach the subject. So just photograph a dummy and store the settings under the manual mode selector of your camera, so that when you see a change you can retrieve the settings in manual mode and you are ready to shoot without thinking! Try it yourself, it really works.
