Erm... thanks for the vote, Bob. A guidebook is on the way, but it's taking wayyyy too much time. Prefer to be out shooting butts rather than sitting on my butt writing a book.

Bob, the Branded Imperial is rather out of focus. Camera shake due to slow shutter speed?

Papilio, how are you going about with the guidebook? If it is a community effort, I can volunteer with the document part such as layout, formatting, etc. You guys would have to provide the pics and contents.

Thanks for the offer, Choy. Not a community effort though. It's part of the Butterfly Interest Group's project, and everyone's kinda busy. The last solo effort by one of our members ended up with the Science Centre/BP Guidebook. However, that's a bit dated now, as the past 7 years of research has turned up quite a lot of new info.

We've accumulated enough info for a serious guidebook, but putting it together is another matter altogether.

I'll seriously consider your help if I can get my act together and decide to go for it. Are you in the design/publishing line?

well, considering I am a sleepy member of the Nature Society that should be OK too.

I am not in the publishing trade, but I am quite adept/interested at document layout (there are more to font and size selection than what people thinks about) and presentation. Kind of a obscure hobby. However I don't use pagemaker and such pro tools, just MS Word.

I'm not sure what is required in order to generate the format required by the publisher. As long as there is not drop-dead datelines I am quite game.

Ok, will consider your generous offer if I need extra help. Enough deadlines at work already. I don't propose that it overflows into our hobbies as well.

yah hobbies are for fun and not stress anyway we can discuss offline, my email hwchoy@earthling.net

Think it it must be. 1/60sec @ f5.6. I thought the pic look odd, but I can't finger out what it is LOL. I have another 6 shots unprocessed, maybe the others will be better.

This the only good one I think: The wind was buffeting the butt continously then.
