ISO 200 f/5.6 1/5

ISO 100 f/5.6 1/160

ISO 800 f/5.6 1/13

ISO 400 f/5.6 1/160

ISO 200 f/5.6 1/15

ISO 100, f/5.6 1/125

ISO 200 f/5.6 1/125

thank you for looking

Gorgeous, Tess! I have more than a few throw-aways from our treks to the conservatory here, so I know how difficult it is to capture these beautiful creatures.

Well done. Love the colors. I can't pick a favorite. TFS.

Not sure why your thought the shots did not turn out - these are very good. Wonderful DOF and colors.

You never disappoint, always something of beauty and quality.

Hehe...you´re welcome tessfully

As a new member to PentaxForum I had to make two comments before I could send a PM. Since I like to photograph butterflies myself, I did a quick search on Butterfly and found your great pictures. Although it was partly a coincidence I found your thread, I believe it deserved the resurrection

Good luck with your upcoming photos!
