I recently picked up a DA*55 for a good price. Tired it over the weekend taking some shots at f1.4. After all you buy a f1.4 lens to shoot at f1.4.


f2.0 however seems to be the sweet spot.



A few butterfly shots from Saturdays visit to the Gardens.
Tamron 70-200 f2.8
Green Morpho





And pal


Just hanging out.


Tiger Longwing giving me a nice pose.






I feel very fortunate to have this place so close to home. Just the two months of this exhibit makes my membership worthwhile.
Awe inspiring shots, Scorpio!

Had a good time riding with the boys today - Had to stop and take some photos because foggy redwoods are too cool

Perfect lighting on that blossom. I'm impressed.
Thank you for the kind words.

The subject looks a bit confrontational. I think you missed the candid moment.

He was probably having an agro moment and I interrupted it.

Most excellent images! Having been chasing those little critters in the latter shots recently, I know how hard they can be to nail. Well done!
Looks like the DA55 is a keeper too.
