Hi

I have seen amazing closeup photos of insects (like jump spiders, etc.). What are the technique in keeping live subjects from moving around?

Thanks

Duy

sometimes it really helps if you have a longer macro lens and give them some breathing room. i have an old Sigma 150mm macro lens that helps me a lot when i shoot macro. its just that longer lens doesn't spook the critter and that helps a lot.

Thanks BlueRay2

I have 100mm macro lens and hope that this helps.
