Fairies 3

Woohoo!....I found some fairies in my new garden.

Fairies are not easy things to photograph. If you see some, you could try laying out some fairy food and hope that they will flutter about until you find your camera.

Then you have to get them at an angle so that they are backlit, otherwise they will become completely invisible. When you have the sun behind them, stick the camera on manual everything with a fast shutter speed (1/500 is good), and use manual focus. (They use fairy magic to fool your camera's metering and focusing) Click the shutter as soon as you think one is in focus. Within a fairy second, they will have fluttered out of focus again.

Oh, and don't try to sharpen them on the computer - their legs and wings will fall off. They are very delicate.

Don't be scared of them, unless you have a loose tooth.
