![]() Brian is relatively new here, however he is not new to macro photography. By just seeing few of his posts in this forum you would know immediately the talent and expertise he has in this field. Don't take my word for it, have a look at his site or view his postings in this forum to see how beautiful his work is.
Brian was generous enough to allow us to have a Q&A session with him, to help advance our knowledge in macro photography. So feel free to ask him questions in this field and he will gladly answer them for you. Thank you Brian. __________________

![]() Glad to see you here Brian. I'd love to hear and see some the devices you employ to keep your rig steady, while chasing bugs and other critters in the garden. While you're at it, how about some basic light modifiers that work well with 1:1 or better type macros.

Now we need to locate Brian. Hope he drops by soon. If he is late then it's my fault, I replied to him late about this session. |

Difficult to answer the first but for some reason I love wasps especially the small parasitic ones. #2 A decent shot of a hawker dragonfly in flight or a damsel fly for that matter. Have just about managed some common darter dragonflies. Brian V. __________________
