Congratulations, finding.aim wins our
#SonyMacro Challenge for her dragonfly image.
"The natural world is my inspiration, especially when viewed through a macro lens. The more I find, the more curious I become about my surroundings and what shares my space."
“Photographing insects with a macro lens can be challenging and you need to work fast because they usually don’t hang around for long. Bracing the camera the best I could, keeping my elbows tucked against my body, I pointed the Sony 90mm f/2.8 Macro G lens at the dragonfly and manually adjusted the focus ring until it was at 1:1 magnification. I’m using the Alpha 6400 so I used the in-camera focus peaking to help get the perfect focus as I moved in for the shot.”
“I’m a self taught photographer, so I may not always do things ‘technically’ right, but my aim is to capture a beautiful image that shares what I found most interesting about the subject at that moment in time. In this case it was the dragonfly’s eyes.”
