Over the week end I to found it rather hot and bird life not to great.
Did a tour of the airfield and came across loads of butterflys.
First time this year I had seen any in quantity so stopped and thought I would give it ago.
Tried hand holding with the 90mm Tamron but just couldnt approach them at all. It was after all at a time when they were all very active so resorted to something bigger.
D2X's + 3oomm AFS + 1.4 conv + 25mm +? Extension tubes.
1/30 @ f9.
ISO 100.
Ex comp: -0.7EV.
Tone Comp: Less contrast.
Saturation normal
Sharpening none.
Gitzo and Arca Swiss ball head.
Nice shot and the colours work well in this one. I also like the way you have kept the butterflys antenie against the bright green leaf, which shows them of nicely.
