The following pictures are my three attempts at macro insect shots. It's harder than it looks! How do you all get perfect shots in focus with out the bug biting you or flying away?
Anyway, helpful tips and comments are always appreciated!

Thanks for looking!

Pretty good shots, How do you get the dragonfly looking as if it's on fire?

The dragonfly--it took me awhile to figure this out, and I took the picture, haha. There's a fall-colored leaf behind its wings that makes it look like it's on fire. I didn't plan it that way, as a matter of fact I didn't even notice it until I was editing the picture. I'm going to go look at that thread, thanks
