Photographing Butterflies and Dragonflies by Mark Overmars instant download

Butterflies and dragonflies are beautiful and often large, colorful insects, and you can find them everywhere. Most people will have taken a shot of a butterfly at some time, but to consistently create beautiful pictures of these insects is quite a challenge. Small insects you photograph most reliable using a macro lens to shoot them from a short distance. But butterflies and dragonflies tend to fly away when approached. So instead of a macro lens, a telephoto lens is normally the better choice, allowing you to photograph from a greater distance, but also presenting new challenges such as a reliance on natural light rather than a flash, and the necessity of paying more attention to composition and background elements.
