捕抓（Capture）

与这黄衫小蜘蛛初次邂逅，虽风和日丽，徐徐凉风却把树叶与蜘蛛吹得缓缓的摇摆着，想把蜘蛛的容貌捕抓在镜头下，却苦于没带三脚架而不知如何下手。

没有三脚架，想把蜘蛛苗条的身段清晰的拍摄下来是相当困难的。为了不擦身而过错失机会，我把ISO调高，把光圈调宽，以超速的快门拍下蜘蛛可爱的模样。

这种拍摄手法，没能把蜘蛛从头到脚都拍得清晰，却总算把那悠悠的眼神给摄入镜头。

不在乎天长地久，只在乎曾经拥有。这是相当感人的爱情观，却也适用在摄影。

For macro photography, it is recommended to use a tripod for sharp images. However, sometimes the tripod may be inconvenient or not available hence we are forced to capture the subject hand held.

For hand holding shots, I normally use the widest aperture available (f2.8 on my macro lens), and try out a few ISO settings up to 3200 so that I can get a shutter speed fast enough to overcome my shaky hand and moving objects. From the few shots taken I then can choose the more satisfactory shots and delete the unusable ones.

High ISO yields some noise to the image and wide aperture leads to narrow depth of field hence part of the object will be blurry. These are the compromises I have to take so as not to miss the shots completely.

I guess we sometimes face similar situation in life, if we are too choosy and refuse to compromise we may end up missing the opportunity completely. An individual judgment may make the difference between a successful capture and a totally missed opportunity.
