Use backlight Ross Hoddinott

www. rosshoddinot.co.uk Backlighting really suits insects, as it tends to highlight their form, detail and intricacy. Low early-morning or late- evening light is perfect for shooting backlit subjects – the light’s quality is warmer and softer too. Position yourself carefully, so you sandwich your subject between the light and your camera. TTL metering can be fooled in tricky light, so check your histogram and apply positive exposure compensation if images are underexposed.
