I'm a network engineer working in Naples, Italy and I've been hooked on photography since 1989. If you'd like to learn how I take my macro and closeup images I write about it at <a href="http://www.nocroppingzone.com" target="_blank">No Cropping Zone</a>. <br /><br /> Minimal post processing because I like to do as much as I can with the camera . If you see an image that you like you can order prints and since none of the images you see here are cropped large prints have an amazing amount of detail! <br /><br /> I've also written articles on macro and closeup photography: <br /> <ul> <li><a href="http://nocroppingzone.blogspot.com/2007/05/macro-technique.html" target="_blank">Macro Technique</a></li> <li><a href="http://nocroppingzone.blogspot.com/2007/06/focusing-tips.html" target="_blank">Focusing Tips</a></li> <li><a href="http://nocroppingzone.blogspot.com/2007/05/shooting-butterflies.html" target="_blank">Shooting Butterflies</a></li> <li><a href="http://nocroppingzone.blogspot.com/2007/09/shooting-bees.html" target="_blank">Shooting Bees</a></li> <li><a href="http://nocroppingzone.blogspot.com/2007/03/shooting-dragonflies.html" target="_blank">Shooting Dragonflies</a></li> <li><a href="http://nocroppingzone.blogspot.com/2007/08/mr-14ex-verses-mt-24ex.html" target="_blank">MR-14EX Verses the MT-24EX</a></li> </ul> http://www.smugmug.com/img/smuggy64.gif http://dalantech.smugmug.com/ 2009-12-02T16:16:18Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
