Nature Birds, Butterflies and Blooms

Birds, Butterflies and Blooms · 01:45 PM

Went to the Butterfly Conservatory today.

Took the K5, AF 080C ring light and my A 100/2.8 macro.

Hot and humid but a great place to spend some time on a winter's day.

Most kind.

Lots of flora and fauna in this place. A couple of hours flew by in this target rich environment. I'll have to go back again as I've just scratched the surface of the conservatory.

WOW! I Love the second image. It makes me crave that ring light! Well Done!

Thanks Tracy,

I don't use the ring light very often but it was a perfect light source for this particular environment.

These are really cool, Tom. I couldn't do this if my life depended on it. I'm impressed for sure.
