PRACTICING A LITTLE MACROPHOTOGRAPHY📸

I recently acquired a lens: 105mm f / 2.8 DG OS Macro, I consulted with a photographer friend to help me select a good lens that would allow me to capture🦋🐛🐜 photos such as flowers, insects! very small things, so for the first time I went out to take some photos with her and test her quality!😮

Of course, when I was talking to my friend about recommending the lens,🦧 he asked me what I wanted to photograph, I told him very small things and he recommended the lens!😆😅 in my innocence I said to him: do you think I can photograph the eyes of a fly for example? He laughed ... And he told me most of the photos you see macros on the internet are retouched with many montages! apparently I also have to learn to handle the montage part of many photos!😅😂

When it comes to powerful lenses we must always see that our lens says 1: 1 🕵️‍♀️there are many lenses out there that say macros but not all of them are specific for this task!🙄😚 100mm means the distance that I must have from the object to be photographed, for example a 50mm tells me that I must be closer to the object to take the photo! if they are insects, a lens less than 100mm is not recommended!👸👱‍♀️

Light plays a very important role in macro photography, it is always recommended to use🤔😮 a lens with artificial ring light! or external lighting! : / while reading many experts recommended using the manual format than the automatic to play with the aperture, ISO !!!😯😲😨😜

I can not complain for being my first time working with macro I got good results,😐 although I admit that I must learn to be more patient when it comes to bugs! for example, that dragonfly is very sensitive and it always😕 escaped when I approached it, I couldn't take a next photo of it😪 :(

I would like you to give me some advice or a link💥💖❓ from a page that has helped you a lot in macro photography! It seems to me that the problem 😲😢is that if I focus on one site the rest will blur! :(
