This is to tidy up the “loose ends” here by reporting on my experience of Anse Chastenet. The delay has been due to waiting for a complaint to be resolved. It has not been and is likely to go to court. In the meantime, here is what happened. As a luxury beach resort, with a particular style of accom...

You'd find that Fill light helps, without producing any new shadows. And of course I did not suggest putting flash on the camera. Noted. There is no alternative to putting the hotshoe out of action for the VF-2, when using flash, on or off the camera. The prospect of putting the flash where its pos...

Chris, I was out again, trying to photograph more insects, when I realised a basic error in my agreement. For stereo images, the lighting must be consistent from one frame of a pair to the next.

A reflector should help, otherwise flash to fill some detail and give some sharpness? Chris, Technically, I agree. However, a reflector only helps (much) if it reflects directly towards the subject and adjusting the angle (possibly necessary for every damsel, as they face only approximately away fr...

Field Cross-eye Stereo Pair of Damselfly
Many blue damselflies were taking up the heat of the sun in my garden this morning. When they do this they tend to face away from the sun. This has an advantage and a disadvantage. It means that you don't cast your shadow over them when taking portraits. However, the head tends to be poorly lit. Thi...

A Culex Mosquito Egg Raft & Irritating Flies
This was one of the most frustrarting outdoor sessions for a long time. This year we have a severe problem wih biting mosquitoes in our garden. I have established that the large numbers are not breeding in our water butts. However, I have seen a few egg rafts on the surface of the water. This type o...

The First Blue Damsels Of The Season
There were quite a few flying around my garden and resting on the vegetation at about knee level. These were shot with my Kiron 105mm at f8. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/462_P6249089_Blue_Damsel_Kiron_105mm_f8_Topaz_1000_1.jpg http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/462_P62490...
