33. PHOTOGRAPHY MOVING BUTTERFLIES

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS. USE SHUTTER PRIORITY for butterfly photography as they flutter and moves fast.


Moving butterflies and breezes blowing the leaves. You need to use TV (shutter priority) mode. I find that TV, 1/1000 sec, f/4.5 and ISO AUTO usually get good sharp images out of >5 taken. Hand-hold camera and focus on the eye of the butterfly. In this pair, I focused on the lower female butterfly and took more than 5 shots.

Canon R5, Hand held, TV, 1/1000 sec, f/4.5, ISO AUTO (actual ISO 320)

51. PHOTOGRAPHY. TRAVELS USA. The Ah Ha Moment. Breaking into a tour coach after midnight in the USA.

TRAVEL STORY - The 'Ah Ha' Moment.  by Dr Sing Kong Yuen. 23 October 2013.  New Jersey, USA. My tour group from Singapore saw a police car when we went to the our coach after breakfast. The coach had been broken into overnight. How did the burglar do it?   The thief stole food, drinks and the driver's sunglasses, but not the camera. The police concluded that he could be a 'hungry homeless man' who had duplicate keys or picked the lock to open the coach door.  A sunny morning.  The ladies looked forward to spending a day at the Factory Outlet. As the coach turned the bend of the road, the rectangular safety vent of the coach lifted up and disappeared, leaving a big gap on the roof of the coach. The was the 'Ah Ha' moment. The 'Ah Ha' moment is a moment of sudden realization, inspiration, insight, recognition, or comprehension . The thief had broken into the coach via the safety vent!  With the fresh air swirling into the coach's roof top vent,

28. PHOTOGRAPHY OF MOON - Morning Moon from Canon R5. Use shutterspeed 2.5 sec

Image
Photography of the morning moon with a 24-105 mm lens. In this case, the moon appeared very large and closer to earth than normally. A tripod or support camera on the ledge is necessary. 300-mm lens is advised. My lens is 24 - 105 mm, so it cannot capture the shadows in the moon as a 300-mm lens.  Canon R5, focal length 74 mm, AV, f/9, ISO 400, 2.5 sec. Use tripod or support on ledge. 5 Jun 2023, 6.36 am. Full moon was on 2 Jun (Vesak Day).  Focus on roof/moon area.
