Stratford Butterfly Farm

[Simian]

Damp day out so went indoors. Here's a few from the Butterfly farm in Stratford Upon Avon.

All C&C much appreciated. Still struggling along with the on-board flash and my tissue paper diffuser, really need to invest in a proper flash.

No. 5 is one ugly bug.
I do like your first shot, I might have straightened it up a bit if its been cropped.

Oh and there's nowt wrong with homebrew diffusers, I used a bit of plastic milk bottle for ages on my pop-up flash, a bit more durable than tissue paper.

If I'd have know I'd have joined you there, myself and Darrell (thedodo) were toying with the butterfly farm today :bonk: I'd say that you've done really well on these

Plastic milk bottle! Genius. I'll sort or of them out later. I can straighten the first, hadn't even noticed it was off slightly.

Sorry Matt down there with the other half as she was checking it out for a school trip in a couple of weeks.

Cheers for comments all, no 5 is very very ugly!

I had a go at the ants while I was there, How the hell does anyone get a picture of them!

Any other comments? I was hoping for a bit more rigorous c&c this time out.

Thanks in advance.
