More from my recent trip to Canada, a Monarch Butterfly that was wandering around the shoreline of the St Lawrence river. I've got some other stuff to process from there but since there's another topic on long lenses for closeups, I thought I'd get these shiny colourful ones processed
Taken @ 560mm with the lens on a tripod using 2 legs as a bipod as discussed. There was no extension tube fitted here so it's just the basic magnification with a little cropping and some processing
The range definitely helps when it comes to Butterflies and they're big enough to get some decent detail.
