Biography:

I've been watching birds since about 2002, butterflies and odonata since about 2007, and many other insects since about 2008.

Photography suggestions welcome. I use a Canon sx10is with a protective Hoya UV filter. I keep the camera set on "P" and "Super Macro." Most of my studio-type photos are taken either (a) in a reflection box with Flash Exposure Compensation set from 0 to 1, like this:



or (b) under fluorescent lighting with no reflection box and no flash, like this:



Questions or suggestions welcome!
