Most people are astounded that anyone could ever catch the flight of a dragonfly on a 35mm negative! These types of shots
take a great amount of patience and steadyness of hand. If one stands in one spot long enough, he or she might have a chance
to catch a shot like this. Hint: To completely stop movement, such as this shot, the camera should be loaded with high speed
film (Kodak 400 or 800) and the shutter speed should be set at 500/1 sec. The camera should be set at manual focusing.

Frog photography is always a challenge, to get a shot of a frog that isnt swimming away from you is a challenge. It definetly
helps to have a telephoto, or zoom, lens fitted to the camera! The use of black and white allowed the shadows and lighting
to come out very well. Color film is not the only film that is good for wildlife photography. Be creative in the use of films,
filters, lighting, etc. Remember, your style is your signature!

Kodak 400 film is my favorite film, it allows the reds to come out very nicely. It is amazing the beauty that one can
catch with a lens!

Bright colors catch the eye! People enjoy bright colors and unusal shapes. A flower can be caught from many different
angles, but the head on shots show the shape, color, and contour of the flower in a rather unique perspective.
