What equipment did you use to take and scan the lepidoptera photos?

0

I currently use a Nikon D200 and Nikon 105 macro lens. A few images were shot with a Canon SD800 IS camera. Images before 2006 (film instead of digital) were shot with a Nikon FG and Nikon 105 macro lens. I used Fuji Velvia. Older, pre-1999 pictures were done with a 50 mm lens and screw-on filter size close-up lenses. (usually +4 magnification.) The Kenya butterflies were shot with a Nikon 70-210 on macro function with either Kodak Gold or Royal Gold 100 or 200 film. The other photos using print film are all with Gold or Royal Gold 100. Most are taken with natural light. Some were with a Nikon ring light. Prints were scanned using a HP or Epson and are in jpeg format. Slides were scanned using a slide scanner. There have been some minor adjustments using Adobe Photoshop. The colors are natural.
