Stratfrord upon Avon butterfly park
I went to stratford butterfly park and took some macro shots of the many butterflies bugs in there
It was sunny day outside. The butterflies are housed in a big greenhouse so the light was quite good
Planing wise I took plenty of water because of the humid heat inside i got there in morning so there would be less general public
Equipment I took my 450d camera I took 2 lenses my 50mm lens and my 60mm macro lens
I also took some magnification filters for both my lenses
I took a flash gun to help with exposure
Equipment operation
I used my 50 mm lens with Manuel focusing with my 4mm filter and 10mm filter and got close up
I also took my 60mm lens and used it in manual focusing
I also took my jessops flash gun to help with some of the shots i used it with a hot shoe adaptor

Risk and Health and safety
I was careful not to use a tripod in case of the public tripping on it and falling
I took plenty of water because of the humidity
I was careful of the butterflies on the floor there where 1 or 2 dead butterfly's that where get stepped on by the unaware public
I am glad i went to the park i enjoyed capturing the different incests and butterfly and showing the tonal range , colours and textures of the creatures .
Nice stuff here Simon, Iv'e been there a couple of times myself and it's wicked for macro stuff.
ReplyDeletePretty & scary shots Simon, great work!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteAs we have discussed this macro work that you have produced is some of this highest quality I have ever seen at the college at any level, you really have go the approach absolutely correct, again I will be talking to the group about final selection of images.
