Overview
If you want to know how to take great photos of butterflies, moths and caterpillars with your smartphone, then this is the guide for you. In this book, I share 35 of my best photos and how I got them using my Samsung Galaxy S-series phone. I explain the strategies, not simply which buttons to push. And I won't confuse you with complex talk about aperture, ISO or shutter speed. I explain how to approach butterflies without scaring them, how to frame caterpillars so that you see where they are, how to get your camera to focus on a flapping butterfly and not the flower in the background, the best time of the day to hunt them, why sunlight matters in insect photography, whether you should use a flash or not, how to crop a photo so you can post it to Instagram or Facebook, shortcuts to make photography quicker, the rule of thirds, how to reduce the steps you take to open the Camera app, how to use your voice to take a photo, and more. I am a prolific author with over a thousand books at Amazon, and someone who loves to spend time outdoors searching for little critters that most people don't often see. I am not using bulky equipment or special flashes or cumbersome tripods. I just use my smartphone. If you want to learn how to find and photograph insects, then this is the book for you. And, by the way, this is a great way to impress that nephew or grandkid, by asking them to bring along their smartphone and join you on an adventure out in the forest, at a local park, or in the backyard. It's easy and lots of fun.Learn more about the zebra swallowtail, tent caterpillar, painted lady butterfly, webworm caterpillar, red-spotted purple butterfly, buckeye caterpillar, Luna moth, woolly bear caterpillar, summer azure butterfly, variegated fritillary caterpillar, tiger swallowtail butterfly, cutworm caterpillar, and more.
