Hello friends, good evening and good luck with your respective activities, so on this happy evening I want to share some random photography of insect objects.

Photography is an antidote to boredom for me, especially macro photography. The macro photography feature on my smartphone makes it easy for us to see small objects clearly, beautifully and large, like in some of my random pictures. I found all these objects in my yard. I happened to be feeling bored so I decided to look for small objects to use as photography and here I also happened to find some insects which I thought could attract attention if shot. Without thinking, I immediately took a photo, but these insects are afraid of our movements, they are very agile and it is very difficult to shoot them, so of the many pictures I found, only these few pictures look perfect in my opinion.

Not only that, before I took the photo, I first opened the smartphone camera, then I entered pro mode, after that I set the ISO to the smallest number, namely 50, this is useful so that the resulting image looks optimal without any noise, almost all of my pictures are mine. I shot with ISO 50 but there was one image of an insect whose ISO was 100 because the position where the image was taken was a very dark room and I decided to increase it according to the environmental conditions so that the image looked a little brighter. The following are several pictures of these insect objects.

To be able to optimize the image without any shaking from our hands, here I use the "SS" setting, namely the shutter speed, this is useful for image speed which is not too bright at the time of shooting, this shutter speed is the amount of light that enters our camera sensor for the shooting process to increase. The longer the shutter speed is active, the longer the image will be processed and the more light will enter, making our photo brighter. Here I am using a shutter speed of 1/80s.

Meanwhile, for the focus point here, I use manual focus, not auto, friends. For me, manual focus is more comfortable to use compared to auto because we can adjust manual to suit our own wishes, but of course if we use it on insect objects, we have to be careful. If you are fast in the setting phase, if you are slow then the insect object may feel disturbed and run away. OK, friends, this is all I can share on this occasion, hopefully it's useful, thank you and see you.
