Hi again. Here are some examples from my latest butterfly expedition

1. ISO 400, F 9.5, exposure time 1/800, flash with diffuer


2. ISO 400, F 9.5, exposure time 1/800, flash with diffuer


3. ISO 400, F 9.5, exposure time 1/800, flash with diffuer


4. ISO 400, F 5.6, exposure time 1/550, flash with diffuser

Wow! Where were these taken? What species are they? What lens do you use?
Fantastic close up shots. Brilliant.

Superb precision shots. All taken at 100mm focal length, I notice. Would this be the Canon 100mm macro?

sorry - here are other details.

canon eos 40d + canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens + raynox dcr-250

photos taken at Studley Grange Butterfly World

i'll try to find names for them if you are interested but i can't promise it today.

Great shots is the first one an Owl Butterfly from Genus Caligo? Just a guess but are the ones with the red and black parts, the common Rose Swallowtail (Atrophaneura (Pachliopta) aristolochiae)? Can't really 100% tell from these shots what they are, but just a guess based on personal experiences with such species like those.

Hmm, I have one of those Raynoxes from when I used a compact camera. I must fish it out again and give it an airing.

These are truly amazing photos. Lost in awestruck admiration, and sorely tempted to just chuck my camera away!!
