Macro photography: run away!

Macro photography is a very nice way to explore the small, but spectacular world we usually walk by…
Modern cameras have great macro capabilities, but it takes some time to master the skills.
Here are a few things to consider:

Hematite beads

This is a superzoom in action: very nice and handy - but in a mirror the cam is very present at 2 cm distance…

Small camera

Here a macrolens is used to get some distance from the object. The cam is a lot smaller now… Watch the small tripod.

Run away...

Right: that looks good with controlled reflections… but the photographer should have used the self-timer and run away. The picture would have been better with a reflecting surface. Do not run off when you catch insects, though…
