Re: Backgrounds for macro

I enjoyed your photos and article very much.

Most of my photos are around my garden and the insects often determine the background.  If the background is very dark, I will usually brighten it to make more detail in the subject.  I am more interested in discovery and identification than the art.  I do still try to make things look good.

All the birds in flight photos have led me to try with insects.  Hover flies, bee flies and drone flies are all good subjects.  Bees can be done to.
