[Tintin124]

Went up to the meadow that I found Yesterday.... Here are some samples of the butterflies found out of the 120 shots I took (not just butterflies BTW). Annoyingly though was terribly windy so not as nice conditions as yesterday when I didn't have my camera with me and only shorts on.

Shot with Tamron 90mm VC + 1.4x TC + Ring Flash Diffused with completed configuration.

Species seen some shot here...

The last one is showing the some time issue with ETTL and pre flash... the subject can move inbetween pre-flash and actual flash. It has been very annoying for me trying to catch an extremely small fly now have 2 shots of empty leaves!!

7. Problem with ETTL

Little sods always fly off when I try and get near them. Really must get the macro out again soo.
Beautiful captures, hard to chose between them

I'm annoyed at #4 I meant to say cause I cut off the antenna but was the only profile shot I got of one of these.
