Your Bio

Pieter van Dokkum is an amateur photographer, focusing mostly on insects, wildlife, and his daughter Celeste (not necessarily in that order). In his spare time he takes pictures of the night sky (see http://www.astro.yale.edu/dokkum/).

Most of the photos on these pages were taken with a Canon Rebel XT in combination with a 100mm f/2.8 macro lens and a Twin Lite MT-24EX flash, a 70-300mm IS zoom lens, or a 50mm f/1.8 portrait lens.
