Absolutely yes. It works really well on my Canon 100L f2.8 IS

My new year resolution is to get out farther afield and get to photograph more varied butterfly species to add to the Blues, Skippers, Meadow Brown, Ringlet and Whites I managed this year.

And from me

Thanks to everyone that voted for me in August's comp. I was pipped at the post by a very worthy winner, so well done Nigel (must be something to do with the name this month!) I was even more pleased with a podium finish after planning the shot meticulously ahead of time. I was on holiday for a coup...

Thanks for your help. Very much appreciated

I'm off to the Isle of Wight in 2 weeks. What species of butterfly should I look out for particularly?

I'm trying to extend my collection of photos away from Common Blues and Small/Large Skippers

Thanks in advance for your recommendations and help

A very good set Marc. I particularly like the first image..... very "clean". As for a macro lens, I chose the Canon 100L f2.8 IS USM after much research and opinion gathering on a photography forum. The lens consistently produces excellent results and the IS is particularly useful for hand...

Thank you both for your very kind comments

Super pics.

Mike

Thanks Mike.

I think I should get a mug that says "I think I'm allergic to going to work in the morning instead of taking my camera out"

First Ringlet that is, not early morning! :) This little chap was waiting for me down in the meadow.

Thanks chaps, and point noted about the image size

Can an expert please tell me which one it is .. thanks in advance

I like this set. Some great work there and some inspiring species to try and photograph.

Composition, light and focus spot on.

This will help you find good sites for the rarer butterflies in your area (where abouts are you?) Thanks for your guidance and the information Roger, I'll take a look for sites around my location. I stay and work on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire border near Bury St Edmunds in the week, but live in Mil...

Thanks for your very kind comments everyone

I'd be interested to know what camera / lens you used.

Paul - I have a Canon 7D and used a 100L Macro 2.8 IS for these shots

Magnificent. Do you have any other species in your archive? Thanks David I'm trying like crazy to extend my portfolio but am finding it difficult because of lack of time :( These are taken first thing in the morning before work and hence I can only photograph what's around. I could really do with e...

Here's another effort

Unbelievably while I was photographing this little chap, he decided to open his wings. I almost fell over with shock

Thanks all for your very kind comments.

I will have to extend my wanderings to see if I can see some less common specimens
