Aperture is the same for all which is F8.0. Shutter speed for all shots ranges from 1/25 to 1/80 other than the moth shot which is 1/100. I know it is quite of slow but I have not mastered the use of the built-in flash yet and no $$ to get external flash setup.

Hey Falcon.. nice...

@ 1/80 some more.

Steady hands man... Or was monopod used?

No.. Got to concentrate very hard. Sometimes make use of the whatever you can find in the surronding to lend support.

hey falcon, how do u get so close to the dragonflies? i'm not referring to the use of close up filters, but physically moving in on them.

erwinx · 15th September 2002

You need to be patient. Try and try again until they give up flying away.

No. For the above 5 shots, I did not use flash. That was the reason for the slow shutter speed.
