The thing that many people may not understand initially is that these bugs arenot “steady all the time” as you put it. I literally spends hours and hours each day photographing bugs, and I often get nothing at all. I took 182 photos of just one spider recently over a period of about 4 hours - and I maybe got less than 10 good photos of him.There is no trickery involved in my photography - just extreme patience and perseverance. I have to understand the behaviour of the arthropods, how to approach them, how they will react to the flash etc, etc… http://www.flickr.com/photos/opoterser/tags/macro/
