Abstract
This chapter will deal with several important aspects that need to be considered when creating exciting and insightful visual material. Photographs of flight are usually “action photographs” that require quick reaction. The wings of insects move so rapidly that they can only be “frozen” over fractions of milliseconds. In addition, flying animals are constantly changing their distance from the camera, which makes it more difficult ot maintain focus.
