FracturedRabbit Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 P5300263 by pattayadays.com, on Flickr How the background is fully black? No brush or studio background with a frozen butterfly. Just cut and paste on photo shop.Clearly to see. Clearly to see; but completely wrong! The photo was taken in Kaeng Krachan National Park last week. I was mainly using a macro lens but this butterfly was high in a bush so I used a telephoto with an effective focal length of 456mm. The original shot can be seen in the attached. The dull background was distracting so I used the "black" slider to darken the blacks in Lightroom, and also added some contrast. Various other minor adjustments. also in Lightroom. As usual, I then used Photoshop as a final step to resize the image and sharpening for posting. Lightroom is a very powerful tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 @ Fractured rabbit, i wish to thank you for your most comprehensive photography guide. IMG_9714.jpg It's only a moth but i got it! With considerable focal length this time. Thanks to you. I always leave AUTOMATIC off now. Even if i am lazy.

Guest Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 @anguid I went to look for more of your photos on flicker. You must see the nature quite more widely than most of us. When I hear buzzing sound next to my ear and see some fly or bee flying around, I name it conveniently as UFO and forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anguid has an amazing portfolio of insect photos, AND, the knowledge of what species they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I visited one of my favorite spots in Phuket town. Hill with view and monkeys. Homeless monkey. He did open the trash bin and found what he was looking for - iced water with a bit sweet taste. This one was all ready to borrow a motorbike, seems like fun for bigger apes, so why not us as well? Just after hard play with other kids.. older monkey came to cool things down. His face expression is pretty much the same as humans have "I was just playing with others, really" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene123 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'm not sure what this plant is, but it grows wild. I haven't found a really good data system to identify Thai plants and wildlife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby nz Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Centipede Kids call them Rot Fai, Thai for train. Great how they can get all these legs going in the same direction at the same time. Heck I have known people who have a great deal of trouble getting two legs going in a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goshawk Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 nice pic Robby (it's a millipede though, not a centipede..) we get the 'blood red' coloured ones on our patch.. i'll dig out a pic later, if i can find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rene123 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Most of the butterflies I see are in constant motion and don't stop long enough near me to get a good picture. I've got hundreds of blurry photos of them. I have a young cousin who likes butterflies and I always send her my better pictures. Occasionally I get lucky.

I've got hundreds of blurry photos of them. I have a young cousin who likes butterflies and I always send her my better pictures. Occasionally I get lucky. A trick a friend of mine uses for butterflies to "sit and stay", is to use some honey dropped in an area to easily take a shot.... then you have to sit and stay until they appear! He just uses a squeeze bottle, with a good cap on it... I did try that, once, but the cap popped off in the bag.... it was a bit messy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rene123 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I think this is the same dragonfly species as the one Goshawk posted in water scenes. At least it stayed around long enough for a photo. Dragonflies are really interesting insects spending most of the life cycle in an aquatic environment. They prey on other insects and the larger ones will occasionally eat small minnows. The larger species can move quite quickly using a form of jet propulsion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often find them tinged greenish/blue in colour. Heterometrus spinifer ...indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
