Hank Taylor Posted September 5, 2014 Share #1  Posted September 5, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) The elusive butterfly not that easy to catch especially using a Leica R 80mm Summilux on a Nikon 7000 hand holding . I usually pre-focus and use my feet to fine tune my forcing. Even then shot a dozen before I had one I wanted to keep:D Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

Hank Taylor Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share #3  Posted September 5, 2014 This shots you will notice the white eggs on the leaf to the left of the butterfly. I found it quite interesting that butterflies don't have a mouth they taste with their feet.  Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

Iduna Posted September 5, 2014 Share #4 Â Posted September 5, 2014 Hank, Â both pictures are excellent. Color and focus with DOF are really fine.

allamande Posted September 9, 2014 Share #11 Â Posted September 9, 2014 Hank, all that hard work and patience certainly paid off here. These are great shots of these elusive creatures. I try to catch the Monarchs (with my lens) but never can pin them down as good as these. Â Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
