Cheers:cheers:

Brian,
Nice photos. I really like the lacewing shots. They are such beauties.

The distribution of the pea blue amazes me. I saw those in Italy and then more recently in the Blue Mountains of Australia. They certainly are adaptable!

Regards,

Thanks Uncle David for the encouraging words and info on the pea blue.:)

Brian, your shots are very delightful! :grin2:

They are always a joy to look at and I think you are very talented. I must say your camera does excellent dof! Well done! :cheers:

Thanks Jonathan! I think I will be using the Canon Powershot S95 most of the time from now onwards. However, this is not the best of this camera yet.:cheers: And I would like to know what is the dof you were talking about?:hmmm:

DOF means "depth of field". Do a google search and you should find lots of information. Wiki has a good explanation. It's what makes a pile of leaves behind a butterfly turn into a creamy green backdrop in our shots. :grin2:
