New info: shot angle and item type in butterflies/moths photos

Community and Forum → Website news and updates → New info: shot angle and item type in butterflies/moths photos

Peter Khramov, 03.12.2011 20:04

Since now there will be some new features shown at each photo page such as if this butterfly/moth is alive or dried, and what's exactly depicted, the upperside or underside. Before authors themselves already could add this information while uploading photos and, as the editor updates older shots with such data, there will be a new option enable to choose photos with these characteristics.

Petr, the "dried" type is somewhat... reminds dried fish. Maybe, use instead "photo in nature" and "collection item". Otherwise it sounds weird. We happen to shoot in nature a died butterfly too, even already dried. Or it's better to use just "photo in nature". "Collection item", as an alternative, may be skipped. Dried butterfly, hm....

I meant, let's change "alive butterfly/moth" and "dried" to "photo in nature" (even for raised at home) and "collection item" (may be skipped).
I confused a little bit above. :)

Was going to write the same, "dried" butterfly sounds silly. It should be named "collection item".

Agree, there is some mess indeed.
So what about this, http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/11497/, is this a "collection item"?
And this photo http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/10888/, is it "in nature"?

These are photos "in nature":

I corrected that for now, if you get some ideas more, suggest.

Done. It's possible now to sort photos by also its angles and specimens (imago). Besides, there is a new angle type available called "supermacro" meant for super blow-ups when there is only a butterfly/moth fragment shot.
