Not gonna lie, taking this was NOT easy...

This macro photography lark is way harder than I had expected. Hopefully it'll get easier with practice. For this I used a Dörr f2.8 60mm lens and the one thing that got me was the incredibly small DOF.

Feedback and tips are welcome.

No chance for you Sebastian, it will not as you want to tackle live ones at
rest or prepared in a way to survive the shoot!

Yeah one is obviously not alive, wasn't trying to pass it off as a live one. Found it on my table out back (already dead).

The idea was not in my mind… I too started with dead ones! :)
