Hi Socrate,

These are great shots. DOF and lighting make them really stand out. The swallowtail shots are beautiful and thats' a great flight shot on the last one.

I just returned from Panama City and they were pretty abundant there too.

Fantastic Socrate! The color and BGs are amazing. The shots look like they were taken in a studio with special lighting. Masterful job.

Wow Socrate these are great > Love the color and detail !!

What was your setup? HH or Tripod?

40D and 300mm?? hmmm Nice ...... When I first looked I would have thought 100mm Macro.

Anthony




Hi Anthony. Thanks for your kind comment. These are all HH, taken with a 300mm. f/4 IS except for the Pipevine shots, taken with a 70-200 f/4 IS. The Gulf Fritillaries and Pipevine shots are taken with a 40D, the rest with a 30D.

Socrate, these are so beautiful. I've looked at these a few times, trying to decide a favorite or two, but can't. They are all winners.



Thanks Maggie. Your comments are always appreciated.

Great shots Socrate. Were these cropped or are they full frame??
Ray



Hi Ray. Thanks for your comments. These are all cropped for compositional porpouses, about 10 to 20%.
The Variegated Fritillary shots are cropped 40 to 50 %.

Hello Socrate,

It's a tough decision, but have to go with #6 as my very favorite. Just love the delicate look and the BG isolates it in a nice way - directing all attention to the butterfly and flower. All are exceptional though. Fantastic shooting!
