Butterfly Thread Anyone?

Alan Ruuska · Aug 7, 2001

I enjoyed lookong at the various Dragonfly photos and comments very much. I was out photographing our daylilies when this Tiger Swallowtail came along. Later, looking at the picture I thought there are probably more E-10 photos of butterflies lurking on hard drives out there?

Hello Alan,

Here's another one:

Taken with the E-10 + Mcon-35 + 2x Cokin (+3) close up lenses.
That guy need a shave ... ;-)
BTW, my images aren't "lurking" on my HD, but on CD-R. One never can know ...

Great close-up Jaja. I just bought My E-10 last month and nay extra cash has gone to memory and NiMh's, etc. instead of a macro lens. So it's good to see what can be done. And yes some cash got siphoned off for a cd burner also. I just have to be better about backup!

Yep,

Hey,

You guys with hot climates have a distinct advantage!

Here in the Northern Latitudes (Scotland) we have to fight for every shot!

The original thread that started this one off...

http://www.dpreview.com/misc/rdr.asp?url=http://www.fototime.com/A9E95C79DF83927/standard.jpg

is in sunny Austin, Texas. I've been fortunate enough to have been in Zilker Park, having worked in Austin for a couple of years..

For butterfly photos, I think we should introduce a handicapping system

Here's a lucky shot. I've chased butterflies all over and not been able to get a good picture but, this one just landed on a rock right next to me with his wings open. I was so excited I fumbled around and scared him off. He came back to the same spot and I took so long to get the focus right and check my settings, he left again. He came back again! And spread his wings so I flipped to autofocus and got my shot. Whew! My heart was pounding by the end of all that. J-

Excellent! It looks like the butterfly and flower are extending out of the screen.

The first one is great! I've never seen a butterfly picture taken from that angle. Way to go! He looks like a big bomber coming in with his wings straight out like that. J-
