Photography is among those arts which requires high creativity, imagination, passion to click dream photos and off-course proper skills if you talk about professionalism. And among different variants of photography, Wildlife photography of insects is one of the toughest and most difficult. It involves great presence of mind, fast reflexes and off-course very high technical skills with the camera. The one thing which is very common in every skill is that perfection occurs with experience but on the contrary to this, Priyanshu Bhargava who is a student of mechanical engineering at Jaypee Guna has clicked some of the most wonderful and best photos of the insect segment of wildlife photography. Within a very short time he captured truly amazing photos of some of the miniature organisms and that to without using a macro! 

While talking with Priyanshu in detail about the tricks and tips associated with these pictures, we came to know that these were possible only due to the application of some proper technical skills used in photography. He tried to go as much as possible for proper detailing, kept the aperture maximum, tried continuous shots and recommended the use of a macro lens (though he himself didn't used one). Going in details, he further told that, lighting is always a problem while taking these kind of snaps, so use of a flash becomes necessary for clicking very high quality photographs. The best approach to use in the wildlife photography of insects is using the "rule of third" for framing.  Have a look at the wonderful wildlife photography clicks captured exclusively under the "Pb Photography" label.
