When you’re lucky enough to see an insect settle on a flower when you’re out shooting, it presents you with a great opportunity for a very interesting and colourful photograph. From past experience here on Light Stalking, it’s also likely to be a very popular photograph among those you show. We never get sick of macro bugs (and we even have some tips on photographing insects) so today we thought we would share a few that happened to land on flowers.
