I am a new member, and this is my first email to the list. My best introduction would probably to invited everyone to look at my Stapeliad Photo Gallery at: http://anti-matter-3d.com/Stapeliads/
Hello Martin and welcome, Thanks for sharing the link, I've enjoyed browsing your pictures, your photography is just awesome, I particularly like your macro shots of stapeliad flowers and flies etc, they are superb.
Cheers, CP

Hi Martin, I can only reiterate what everyone else has said and I am delighted that we have somebody on board with a good knowledge of the Stapeliads. You are certainly living in the right place for them.
Excellent web site, the photography is beautifull. I can't wait till my stapeliads bloom. I bought a macro lens kit for my digital this year and I want to take some closeups like yours.
Can't wait to see your fotos..! My collection is actually still very young, and most of my Stapeliads haven't flowered yet. I concentrate on Stapeliads, but I actually have a very large collection of succulents from all over Africa and Madagascar. This was how I accidentally stumbled onto Stapeliads.
You are very brave indeed, doing closeup photography on staps !!! I would have to use the 180mm macro lens and stand well back, or wear breathing apparatus
Reguardless of your methods, your results are outstanding. Your other sites could take a lot of my time, especially the film and animation and multimedia work. You are a true professional in your field.
