Love the morning dew on rocks image - pleased that I'm not the only person who admits to cheating with a brightly coloured coat.

Hi Micael, , thanks for all the useful tips. I’m shooting a lot of bugs at this time as it’s spring time in Melbourne, baby ‘everythings’ from ladybugs (eggs and larvae) to jumping spiders and even baby praying mantises. I’ll definitely use these tips, , thanks again for sharing 😊

All very helpful tips, all of which I try to use myself together with one more, which is to clone out small distractions like hair, sensor dust, pollen, tiny specular highlights, etc for a cleaner looking result.
