I'm enjoying your excellent pictures very much! But: The Picture "Beetle&quot ; shows a Bug; the pics "Bee on Bloom" and "Bee on Bloom 2" show Hoverflies (order Diptera, family Syrphids); "Fly united" shows a small species of dragonflies! Greetings from Germany, Günther

All I can say is WOW! Your photographs of insects are awesome. I especially like the photograph of the dragon fly called "Darner 7". The only way that I can get close up macros like this is to set up my Nikon with two sets of bellows and a 200mm telephoto lens on a tripod. I have to open up the aperature all the way and calculate my "actual F Stop". I then take the picture with a flash unit at a speed of 125th of a second. Doing all of this permits me to 1.) Avoid getting too close to the subject and scaring it. 2)stopping any movement by either the wind or the subject. and 3.)Achieve good depth of field. I wonder how you so beautifully mastered these challenges. Your insect photographs are some of the best on the web. Congratulations. Bill Cable (heyburn3)

Hi there. I am just amazed at the beauty of these photos. I especially love the dragonfly photos. The Blue on Blue is exquisite. When I grow up, I want to capture photos like these. (: Thanks so much for this album. Dynna

Bill, your 'pink' dragonfly is a Roseate Skimmer. Nice work ! I especially like the 'handstand'. - Pat

Yes, Blue on Blue is an awesome shot ! And BTW - the handstand move is called 'obelisking' and they do it to cool off ! Thanks for sharing ! - Pat

I don't often see such stunning photos as those in your Insects & Creatures album. "Blue on Blue" has earned a spot in my "Wallpaper Favorites" folder. It is truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing, incredible, wonderful! How did you manage to take photos of the flying insects??? I had never seen a wasp flying! What is your secret? what type of camera are you using? how did you get so close to the insects in flight??? It's just amazing... Congratulations, your album should become a book on insects and dragonflies! Thank you for sharing! Regards from Geneva. Barbara

Because our daughter (bao666) invites us, we come back to this absolutely excellent album! The bumblebee on the yellow flower is a masterpiece, but also the giant spider, the pollen laden bee... We discover more and more wonderful details! Thanks! Henri and Käthi

Geeze, I wish I could take the close ups like you, once in awhile I get lucky, but you seem to have a knack for it. I wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS. I hope to have more photo's and art in the upcoming year. Melody www.yapsalot2.smugmug.com

Hello, the photos in this album are amazing. The clarity and composition is a credit to your skill, patience, and I dare say, equipment. Every shot is a masterpiece by itself, my favorite is the Wasp in Flight. Best wishes, Keith in Sydney.

All of your albums are great!!! What type of camera are you using?

These albums are great, I have similair interests in your subject matter. I would like to know what equipment you are using and how you set it up. I am using Canon Digital rebel, tamron 90mm at times with circular polarizer and teleconvertors or my new extension tube set. what do you use? rwjung
