When taking macro shots of insects with your mobile phone, you can’t rush for success. You have to work hard in three aspects: focus, lighting, and composition.

One, the focus must be accurate. When taking macro shots of insects with your phone, slowly aim the phone lens at the insect's eyes. If the insect does not fly away, it means the insect is not hostile or afraid of the phone lens. At this time, the insect's eyes will rotate around the camera, thus forming a "looking at each other" picture. If the insects cooperate, then move the phone lens in the direction required for the composition to make the insects move. Press the shutter at the moment when the insect's limbs move, and repeatedly capture different images. The photos of the insects must be vivid and flexible.

2. Use the light reasonably. The selection and use of light in mobile phone photography is particularly important during the shooting process. It is necessary to use light to express the contrast and layers of the photo, and also to highlight the lines, primary and secondary, and virtual reality of the photo. When taking macro shots of insects, you must not only take into account the light characteristics of the light source, but also the body posture and location of the insects before shooting. Through reasonable use of light, you can express the innocent and vivid demeanor of the insects.

3. The composition should be beautiful. When taking macro shots of small insects with your mobile phone, it’s important to pay attention to composition. Generally, small insects like to rest on grass blades, especially the tips of grass blades and the petals of flowers. Then, when we shoot, we should focus on the small insects and the independent plant stems, leaves, petals, etc. that they rest on, reduce the entry of other irrelevant flowers, stems, leaves, and debris into the picture, reduce the visual elements of the picture, and highlight the posture, eyes, and shape of the plant stems and leaves of the small insects.
