Hello and welcome to a new installment in our series on macro photography. My name is Hans-Peter Schaub and in this part of the series we are dealing with macro shots of insects and dewdrops. We left quite early this morning. Our destination was the Lippe-Aue, which is in the east of my hometown of Hamburg. I often go there when I want to go out into nature a bit in the morning. We are relatively close to the road, which is hard to avoid here. Nevertheless, you can hear a lot of bird calls and the mood in the early morning is really nice.
Last night was relatively cool. It rained yesterday, but sunshine was announced for this morning. As a result, there are many dewdrops all over the grass and a lot of moisture in the air. These are good prerequisites for interesting and varied macro shots.
Normally at this time of the year you can already see a lot of insects, but this year it’s a little different. The development of vegetation and wildlife is somewhat delayed.
