Iduna Posted September 13, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) it was early enough in the morning to search for one of this species sitting deep down in the grass. I knew from one of my earlier inspections that I would find them here. Yet it was a challenge for this my first attempt. Canon 5D MKII with Elmarit R 60 mm macro+2xconverter,flash mounted on a tripod and handheld reflector. The camera was dismounted from the tripod in favour of being free to kneel and with the reflector under my ellbow I tried to approach very carefully. It was rather dark deep down in the grass, so to bring in thee some light was neccessary. Next time I know better how to manage. Welcome, dear visitor!

lanetomlane Posted September 13, 2013 Share #3 Posted September 13, 2013 Nice set of images, particularly the last one. Regards, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted September 13, 2013 Tom, thanks for looking closely. The last one was when I was bold enough to go nearer. I am thinking about getting this famous R-lens Elmarit 100 mm Apo macro. And these butterflies are only half the size of a thumbnail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
