It helped that the dragonfly just sat there patiently while I hovered around it with my camera.<BR/><BR/>My camera is an inherited three- or four-year-old point-and-shoot, a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7. (<A HREF="http://kittbo.blogspot.com/2007/09/steady-as-she-goes.html" REL="nofollow">Pictures of it here.</A>) It has a Leica lens and and I used the macro setting (indicated by a little flower icon on most automatic cameras). <BR/><BR/>I keep thinking it's on its last legs (it's slow, sometimes the lens cover jams, I beat the hell out of it carrying it in my pocket or purse all the time), but it still takes good shots. I'll replace it with the newer Lumix when the time comes. <BR/><BR/>Mimi, you work at a butterfly farm? Cool! I'll bet some of the <A HREF="http://kittbo.blogspot.com/search/label/butterfly%20pavilion" REL="nofollow">Butterfly Pavilion</A>'s insects come from there.Kitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673726727402668186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-55807391993254612492008-08-04T20:48:00.000-06:002008-08-04T20:48:00.000-06:00Hint, hint: info on camera desired by many.Very, ...Hint, hint: info on camera desired by many.<BR/><BR/>Very, very beautiful.
