The Art and Science of Butterfly Photography

Rating:
Summary: Excellent practical guidebook
Review: Mr. Folsom has done a splendid job with his beautiful book on butterfly photography. I have begun to experiment with insect photography and found his book chuck full of practical, useful tips and suggestions. So many photographic books have endless pages on technical details or expound upon the obvious. This beautiful book provides a wonderful blend of photographic pointers along with fascinating information on these marvelous little creatures. Mr. Folsom should be comended for producing such a helpful manual on the fine art of butterfly photography.

Summary: A great book with something for all audiences
Review: The Art and Science of Butterfly Photography is a well thought out book which should appeal to anyone interested in butterfly photography. For the amateur Lepidopterist, the book contains a wealth of practical information on photographic techniques. For the amateur photographer, the book contains great information on the specific challenges of butterfly photography, as well as basic butterfly behavior -- where to find them, how to attract them, etc. Even someone new to both butterflies and photography should find all that they need to start taking outstanding pictures almost immediately. I am an amateur Lepidopterist with a basic knowledge of 35mm photography. I have read a number of general nature photography books, but they tend to focus on larger animals and landscapes which present very different challenges than photographing butterflies. This book was just what I have been looking for!
