Not too far from where we live, there is a small yet very well-presented butterfly house situated next to the Cwm Rheidol Reservoir, a mere 10 miles from Aberystwyth. Founded by Neil Gale in 2000, the butterfly house is home to over 80 species of butterfly, of which 30 can be seen at any one time during the year.
GSimpleRelease Review – A Focus Bracketing App for Panasonic Lumix Cameras
Being a keen macro photographer, I was very excited when Olympus first announced its new Focus Bracketing and Focus Stacking modes back in mid-2015.

Lost in Shanghai: Intriguing Works of Shanghai Street Photographer Tim Gao
Born in 1986, I am a self-taught and enthusiastic freelance portrait photographer based in Shanghai.
