Hi Terry,
Have a look at my macro shots. http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showpost....&postcount=395 No flash, just natural light D40 set to auto exposure with a reverse mount 58mm f1.4 slr lens. The reason to set auto exposure is that I don't have extra hand to do adjustment quickly to catch bee, fly shot. The chance to get that shot is around 5 seconds. The time is too short to do any manual exposure adjustment without flash. No animals were killed/touched in the photo session Handheld shot above ground around 1 meter. Regards Leigh |

Some NG photographers take photos in controlled environments, but the majority of the the images are shot in the wilds and on location.
Almost 100% of my own macro shots are taken on location and not in a studio. It is not that difficult to take decent close-ups that have impact. The main thing is, like all photography and filming, to use use your 'inner vision'. Here are a few of my own favourite 'close-up' images: The unusual often lifts an average photo to higher levels...
