Are all the jumpers you guys find this tiny? Second pic before cropping first after. Nikon d90, nikon 105 mm macro, Kenko 36 mm tube, iso 200, f 16, 1/200sec. I find it difficult to get a pic facing directly in front or slightly facing up. I can not seem to get the little suckers to sit still.

I think it was injured because it let me pick it up and bring it inside and place it on a plant. I have never been able to get this close and have a dragon fly sit still.

That's the challenge. If your comfortable shooting macro you only need a moment to Get the shot. I'm currently shooting 2:1 and for the most part I keep my lens set at this magnification, so each shot I'm at the same distance to subject.
To start with, I brought home some props along with the jumpers. I then release them one at a time, using one hand to coaxed them onto a leaf or piece of moss or whatever else I'm using. I then quickly take the shot. Some jumpers will settle down, others won't. This group of photos went fairly well, but I can spend up to several hours easily. You have to be at eye level and the jumper has to be looking at you to get the Best reflections in the eyes. You have to enjoy this as it can take a whole day, I usually take Saturday to collect the jumpers, pick out the props, take the photos them process them. Until recently I took 95% of my macros in the wild and took props along when I remembered. In the last month since getting my D600 I've been doing this more frequently. About 4 weeks ago in the middle of a heatwave with temperatures and heat index equaling 105 plus degrees I set up a little folding table to shot on and I'm still using it. If this jumper were frozen, gassed or dead there would be No challenge. You won't see any of my jumpers waving at you or balancing water drops on their heads. I let all the other guys do that, just to simple for me.

Thanks I do not like the idea of freezing them either. I think your pics are some of the best. The jumpers I find around here ( Ohio) are usually very tiny so i Have not been able to get that good of pics. I only shoot in the field, so I think that makes it a little more difficult.

Do you freeze them when you get them home? How do you get them to sit still long enough to get a good shot?

I have not posted recently. All of the jumpers I have seen are so tiny and will not sit still. I do not know what kind of fly this is, but I do like its face. As always any comments welcome.
