Ephemera vulgata - with help of MinitecaPhotographie I know , what this my beauty is
Now I want to your opinions about this photo , ho you like it
I used manual focus for this shot, after lot of tryings with focus stacking.. - was very windy!

Do you have good tricks how to shoot insects in windy days?

Beautiful photo, only a little too dark I think but that is personal.
Photographing insects above wind force 3 or 4 is actually not possible and so stay at home or something else.

Danke je wel Ron Westbroek for your opinion .
And maybe you are right here . Wind is always bad friend of macro photographers . But maybe any tactic are possible here, by evening

Natalia, indeed i agree with Ron Westbroek that the picture is too dark wlth shallow depth of field. A higher f stop means less light and longer shutterspeed. To solve this you need a flashlight.
A trick i use is To take the camera in one hand and take the branche of leave in the other hand an try to focus bij moving the subject untill it is in focus. Wind is the biggest enemy by taking macroshots.
another possibility is waiting the wind falls. Wint often comes in waves.
