Phil Warburton is a retiree living in the Eurobodalla, an amateur photographer and a member of the Eurobodalla Natural History Society, who is studying Entomology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
An amateur naturalist with an interest in a broad range of wildlife in Australia. Originally trained as a chemist at Manchester Uni and now studying entomology as a retirement project (so far via the excellent 101 course at University of Alberta and more recently with another excellent course at Nebraska-Lincoln Uni). I very much enjoy participating in iNaturalist as a way of learning this subject.
I also enjoy photography and I try to get the best photos that I can, for my contributions to iNat. I usually prefer to use a long lens rather than a macro lens for my insect photos in the field. I also like to take microscope photos and high magnification macro studio shots using a motorised macro-rail set up. Increasingly, I get field photos using focus stacking, using software that tolerates some movement.
