This evening there was a 'window' in the cloud and I managed to use it before the grey skies returned. There was a breeze however - so ISO400 was the order of the day.
Hi A.R.D,
Good and sharp, great background. How do you find the 2.8 for macro, I've used mine when nought else available but feel it's a bit awkward, still got a pic though.
This four spot is a few days ahead of the ones I saw at the weekend up here.
Love the angle here,shows those characteristic four-spots off superbly.Really like the blue and yellow background too

Great image - and what a stonking BG

Beautiful. Gorgeous colours throughout. ARD, I wondered how the 200 F2.8 would perform at such an extreme close focal range. Especially with the 2x. I have been happy with the 2x performance on the 300 2.8 but have to try this on close ups. Would you mind sending me a copy of the embedded jpeg or the raw file without any processed sharpening? Very interested in this as I have been toying with the idea of a 300F4.
