![]() I always recommend exploring areas near lakes or in fields with low growth. The best locations though, are usually ones with damp earth, vegetation, and most importantly – water. And the more remote and wild the location, the higher the quantity and diversity. Insects and other invertebrates are everywhere. One of the most common questions I get is, 'Where are good places for finding little critters?' The answer is simple. Most adult insects will have died out and the newborns will be in one of their larval stages. In the fall and winter, however, things are usually not as good. The male often waits for the female to catch prey before he approaches, so he doesn’t become her next meal himself!ĭuring summer months, insect numbers dwindle noticeably but there are still lots of subjects available. ![]() The fields are absolutely packed with invertebrates of all species, flying, hunting, mating - doing everything we want them to do to create an interesting shot. Spring, in most species, is the time of year when the adult hatches from its cocoon, and starts frantically looking for food and for a mate. While there are insects present year round in most climates, it is in springtime that the populations truly boom. The first order of business is getting to know the best seasons of the year to find and photograph insects. Here I'll speak to my experiences photographing in countries with 'normal' winter/summer climates in which mornings are chilly and midday is considerably warmer. The key for any successful macro photographer is to be able to closely observe a subject without disturbing its natural behavior.įirst, however, I should point out that insect activity is influenced by climate and seasonal conditions, which of course vary greatly around the globe. In this article I'll walk you through the task of locating and handling macro subjects in the field.Įlad and Bruno admiring two spiders in their natural habitat. Finding them in their native habitat exhibiting natural behavior, however, can be a challenge for those new to wildlife macro photography. With over a million recorded species - believed to be but a fraction of the actual total - you can shoot ten different species every single day of your life and never get close to documenting them all. The arthropod world is virtually endless. Matis will do the basic experiments in Iceland.A spider on the hunt is one of countless scenes available to photograph, if you know how to find them. Eukaryo as is project owner and has the project lead. ![]() Eukaryo as, AKVATIK as and DUE MILJØ AS are from Norway, Codland and Matis are from Iceland and TARI Faroe Island participate from Faroe Island. The project is now entering the phase with separations. The lab tests have shown us that both proteins and carbohydrates has been positively affected during the hydrolyze. With right pH and air conditions, it can now be stored for a long time, or it could be directly hydrolyzed to split complex molecules into wanted size for further separations. Old plants also tend to have a stiffer stipe and midrib, and hence more difficult to process.Īfter harvesting, the algae were pre-cut and milled to a wanted consistent both for preservation and processing. We concluded that cultivated algae would be preferable because of equal quality, age and size. Both cultivated and wild growing algae has been used, but for the tests only wild grown ecotypes were used.
