Ive been taking pictures of flowers and other insects for a few years now but had never done much in the way of buterflies. However, thanks to some recent nice weather and lots of butterflies just around the cormer from where I live I've had a good stab at this for a couple of days. Here are some of the pics I've taken.
The camera is a Canon 400D and the lens on all of these is a Sigma 150mm macro lens with a Sigma 1.4x converter added. Some are taken with flash others with daylight or a mixture of daylight and flash.
I have to say that getting this close was a magical experience for me. More of this next summer I think!

Comments etc welcomed. I've also got some from a recent vist to a local butterfly house which I'll post soon.
Nice to be here.
