Nice set of pics Prasad. When I do field work, I usually carry a small A4 size blackboard with a strip of graph paper pasted on one side for scale. My friend Jana used a velvet cloth which she used to spread on ground and put the dissected parts on the cloth to take pics. Velvet cloth doesnt shine with flash But she never used flash saying that it changes the original colour. I remember we both used to spend hours with on our respective black things and at that time we both used film roll camera!! One roll for not more than 3 species was our logic and at the end we had thousands of pics, many of which were drastically bad. When I came to Dehradun after finishing my field work, I had a trunk of albums which i burnt during last Holi :). Using hand in your pics make it more HANDY pic :). Hope you understood what I meant.
