What...like this

I've got a Canon 1D markII N, and took the shot with the Canon 100-400 L IS and extention tubes.

Martin.

Merv...I don't know anything about the Pentax, but it's a bit unfair to compare the other two. The Canon is considered "Entry Level" and the Nikon is a "Semi Pro". The Canon equivalent of the D200 would be a 30D and the Nikon equal of the 400D would be thier D80. I would strongly...

I know it's not a butterfly, but I was so pleased with this shot, and we're all nature lovers here anyway, I thought I'd stick it in...a Slowowm.



Martin.

I left this shot out for some strange reason.



Martin.

I've changed my Holly Blue shot for this one I took today...is that OK?



Martin.

Any suggestions? Yep...say it with conviction, even if you're wrong, and everyone will think you're a genius because no-one really knows!

Martin.

Got some shots I'm really happy with...

I'm looking for someone to share petrol costs with on trips to butterfly sites . I live in Uxbridge, Middlesex, and have only just "discovered" butterflies. I've been photographing them for 3 years now (been into photography much longer) but in Spain, where I've just come back from, so my ...

I use that book...it's the only one you'll ever need.

This young lady sat still for about 10 minutes for me this morning :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520/V6GTO/Butterflies/20070418_Orange-Tip---nthocharis-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520/V6GTO/Butterflies/20070418_Orange-Tip---nthocharis-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520...

Pete...love the videos from the e-mail...shame there aren't more.

Martin.

I'm going to start looking on any spare days I get from now on...having just moved back from living in Spain where my interest first started, I'm determined to photo/learn as much as possible this season. As for species I'm very focused on which ones I'm interested in...the ones that fly :wink: :D M...

OK guys...just found this...

Anyone? Don't mind driving an hour, say, in any direction.

Thanks, Martin.

I'd go with Male Spotted Fritilary...Melitaea didyma.

Martin.

Didn't know we could have one...how do I do it?

Martin.
