The Art and Science of Butterfly Photography
April 24th, 2008
The Art and Science of Butterfly Photography Butterflies are a favorite subject of nature photographers, but capturing them on film requires skill, special equipment, and an understanding of their behavior. Starting with a basic discussion of butterfly anatomy, this book delves into the details of their habits and habitats-including where and how they live and where and when to look for specific breeds. This information helps photographers find butterflies and lure them in front of the camera. An equally thorough discussion of technique-including using auto or manual focus, exposure compensation, picking a lens, using multipliers, extension rings, filter, and flash, coping with movement, and controlling the background and light-covers everything essential to making a great shot.
Customer Review: So disappointed!!!
This book proves that you can’t judge a book by its cover–open it up and find most photos are in black and white, and unbelievably almost none show enough depth of field to show the whole insect in focus. I was really stunned at the poor quality of photography here. The text does contain helpful information on general rules of photography, how to approach insects, etc. but the information on film and use of very old camera equipment is extremely outdated in this day of digital photogrpahy. I immediately packed this book up and sent it back for a refund.
Customer Review: Worth your money
I own two copies of this book. I share my extra copy with other photographers who are interested in photographing butterflies. It is an particularly good resource for any serious novice or intermediate photographer. The book reviews and reinforces basic photography concepts with a distinct emphasis on mastering depth of field. The book is well organized, well written and easy to understand. It is full of useful tips and much of the material is transferable to other photographic subjects. The tips on photographing butterflies, i.e., where to find them, insect behavior, equipment and technique is very solid information.
