As a new member of this forum & quite new to photographing butterflies, I am starting to feel sad that the summer will soon be gone
What do you folks do in the long winter months?
Love the website & the great advice.

Well five of us are photographing Red Deer this weekend, I'm also booked on to a couple of boat trips in the middle of winter, (should get a chance to get some pics of Red Squirrels). We will probably do some fungi photography in the next few weeks too, and do a bit of long lens stuff down the coast.
All sounds good fun but the truth I'm as depressed as you

I'm similiar to Gary, the summer, such as it was, seems to have flown by and still so many goals to achieve !
I'll do the fungi forages, maybe some frosty/misty landscapes and certainly some bird photography.

I do landscapes and trees and moths if I find any. I want to shoot some fungi, but I at college, so I am busy mostly and won't have much time. Man how time has passed fast huh?

I've just bought an ancient sigma 400mm lens for birds. I'm hoping for some bright days though as it needs good light.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the sight of Asha (my Collie) on all my posts doesn't stir up painful thoughts.

Thanks, Pete! I might slip that picture 'by accident' into a class presentation so the kids think I'm cool.
Taken in Ticino?

For now, I have decided on Landscapes as good photos, I took these two last year and I plan to get good ones this year too, just got to find them. I took these both where I live:
This was my first pic with my Samsung Digimax L85:
This was in a field not far from my house, in summer its full of butterflies and dragonflies, but winter, its looks good for landscape shots.
Good landscapes I see sometimes when fog roles in from Strangford Lough and area around my house becomes foggy. And sunrise near my house is a good shot to get as as well as sunsets.
