I have never been there but I think it would be nice to visit. I have seen the butterfly farm at Earnley though. That is very good for some close up photography. Peter? Earnley would be right up your street with your interest and obvious talent for this type of picture Ray |

Just make sure you give your camera time to warm up and for the steam to go from your lense. Walk slowly up to any resting butterfly and take the photo. I never use flash for the photos, too artificial. Set the ISO to about 400, and the aperture as small as you can with a shutter speed as fast as you can, in case they move suddenly. Here endeth the first lesson. He he he. |
