Robby nz Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 A couple of surprises. I was trying to get a good shot of a very common butterfly and when I got home and put the pix on the computer: I noticed a small black and white striped thing on the stem the butterfly was sitting on, Looks like some sort of a ladybug. Second surprise: There were some small grey butterflies flitting around and they seemed to disappear whenever they landed. I managed to keep my eye on one and when I got a focus on it, wow no longer grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Pays to look close all right Dancealot, these must be things that very few people ever see. Tried to PM you but couldn't get it to go through so will post here. Saw somewhere that you were in Scotland, I hope to be there in September perhaps we could meet up if you are still around.

Mousehound Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 @angiud Wow, your butterflies are beautiful. Do you do this for living? God will! Just an hobby. Butterflies pics don't pay, unfortunately. I have hundred of them in a couple of photo agency, but without so much success I also find it hard to sell shots - just sold a set of 13 shots to one client which gives some hope but my sales barely keep me in equipment let alone cover transport or living costs. I guess we really do it for the love of it. I think I could survive living in a tent as long as I had my binoculars, camera and scooter. I am experiencing some eye problems that could be serious. I am afraid of suddenly finding myself unable to see to continue my observing and photography. That is my nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene123 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I only sell photos if they go with a journalistic travel article. This common dandelion blossom is pretty if you look close and get the lighting correct. It's just a hand held snapshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene123 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 It is a shame this pretty blue butterfly only shows its brilliant colour when it flies. The wings always close up when it lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a great fan of Zoos either. However, I have found they attract other native species into the grounds and these are worth while. I have also had some success with getting on to insects in Zoo grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancealot Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 http://www.pattayadays.com/photography-guide/ After just going through it again, i found this guide to be a bible for beginning photographers, and as feedback i suggest you sell this guide to a more commercial website. Pattayadays wont help you. But i am confident others will help you. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do suggest a donation if people find it useful, but so far I have received $10 out of 7,000 downloads; so that isn't working! I was thinking of making into a book via the Apple authoring application and putting it on the App store, but that probably wouldn't work either. Mainly I just get satisfaction knowing that it has helped many people get more out of their photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
