mikemorrell Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Yes, astounding, innovative photos! I did wonder wonder whether Dr Brackenbury actually lay waiting in the grass at 'likely locations' or had some some automatic camera that he could trigger remotely. Googling him, I've not seen any references to 'remote triggering'. At photocrowd you can see the set up for a couple his photos. Basically, these seem to be: Nikon D800 Single-shot high - speed image using custom-made 2.7 mm lens. Ambient light. 1/6400 s exposure. Thanks for sharing these, Sandy!

BeBu Lamar Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Great pictures with very wide angle lenses. Quite a different perspective from what we used to see in butterfly pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McCreery Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Beautiful photos. I would love to see his camera setup, especially his lens. If he did use a Nikon D800, a 2.7mm focal length lens would need relay lenses in order for it to focus so close, and rely on depth of field to extend to infinity.

Vincent Peri Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Hmm... I bet he cut out photos of butterflies and pasted them in the flower photos... http://bayouline.com/o2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan2240 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I once got down on the ground to photograph insects. Should have paid more attention to where I was, as I ended up with a nice poison ivy rash. Hopefully the good Doctor didn't suffer the same fate.

JDMvW Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hmm... I bet he cut out photos of butterflies and pasted them in the flower photos... I'm sure they must be for real, but they somehow remind me of Conan Doyle's fairy pictures 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 The author was basically a footnote - the girls took the photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The author was basically a footnote - the girls took the photos! But it was Conan Doyle that made them "famous" - anyway it's clear if you read the wiki and other articles on the subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
