Couple butterflys

Yesterday at the butterfly garden, Brevard Zoo.

Most of the buterflies looked kind of ragged. Is this the time of year for that. I saw some beauties, really batterd.

Off to work now.

You all have a great day, and a good week

 

Thank You Gordon,

Very kind of you.

Fun to watch them fly around and all the pretty flowers.

 

Thank You Leigh

Guess I am going to have to learn a bit about butterflies. :>)).

Think dao will be a big help :>

 

Obelix

Thank you so much.

The contrast of the colors and greenery really caught my eye. Light was not ideal. to bright.

Waited and waited.

 

Hi there Dawg,

thank you so much.

I smell another lens lust coming on EEEKKKK

 

Hello Dao,

Thank you so much.

Thank you for the names also. Do they have nick names to ?? Like Zebra :>)). How about the orange one. Monarch.

I saw dark ones with beautiful blue on the tail and two points. The only one that wasn't ragged, was off in a corner to far.

I walked around trying to see him land closer. But no luck.

I don't particularly want to do macros, because I like the flowers and greenery also. But guess I could do both.

But then I will need another lens.

OHHHH please does this never end :>)))))

Getting ready to post another one.
I waited a long time for it to land on a particular plant.

Thanks again :>)))

 

Thanks flew,

The light at this zoo is always tough. Now especially at the butterfly garden..

They sure did not build it for photographers, well not amatures like me.

Well maybe thats a good thing. Sure makes me think and trying to guess exposures constantly.

Love my VR VR VR's :>)))))))

 

Hi Keith,

Thank you very much.

So ya think the 500D would go good with the 24-120 VR VR VR ???

Heck of alot better than another lens to change and carry around.

Do you need to shoot manual with the 500D on the lens ???

Thank you for the Idea.

 

Thank You Mike,

I used the 24-12 VR on these.

I really like the lens alot.
