At least how I like to do it
Step 1 - find a suitable subject
Step 2 - find a suitable shooting angle
Step 3 - put your equipment/experience to work
After I found my little model doing his thing (don't know exactly what as others of his kind weren't doing it), I picked a background I liked by positioning myself so that an open patch in the weeds was directly behind the D-fly so that I could get the little hairs on the thorax to show up (sorry for the run-on sentence).
Shot one - the background/angle I selected (can you see the d-fly? it is still there).
Shot two - the full-frame shot using a little pop-up flash fill as explained in the flash thread above.
As you all know, I consider the background just as important as the subject with macros. So much so that I use lighting and background to determine where I should be shooting. Then I look for a subject in that area. Sounds backwards, eh?
