Photographing Dead Bugs - Macro Photography Tips and Walk through 🕷️
While it may not seem like the most exciting thing to do, photographing a dead bug or spider that has naturally passed away is a good way to sharpen your Macro Skills. (Just don't EVER hurt them or kill them for a photo, please!) In this video, I'll show you how I took the photo of the Jumping Spider on the thumbnail and the equipment I used. So if you ever find a dead bug around your house one day, you can look at it as an opportunity to get an awesome macro photograph!
PS: This is my first video so I'm nervous as heck! Go easy. =]
