"Precious" insects. Dew-covered insects in macro photography by David Chambon
We've probably never seen insects as beautiful as they are helpless as in David Chambon's macro photographs. The seasoned photo artist lives in the French town of Doubs in the Franche-Comté province, a five-minute drive from the national park, which is ideal for macro photography. There David Chambon prefers to meet the sunrises in order to seize the moment and take pictures of dragonflies, moths, grasshoppers, beetles and other insects in an unusual form
