Weekly Photography Assignment: Insects

Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to encourage yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.
Week 233: Insects
Our theme this week is Insects, and we’d love to see what creative images you can take of insects in nature! There is a whole tiny world waiting to be explored, and insects can be found everywhere if you start to look for them. This week, look for the smallest creatures you can find. Perhaps you will try to get downt o their leveland see them from a new perspective, or experiment with flash or additonal lighting. Maybe you will even go out looking for insects at night! Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for awesome insect photographs are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring images you can create.
