Amazing Color / detail / lighting / PP Super Clean PP as usual I see you were using the 300 mm >> how many mm of ext tubes did you use ? And last >> What were your settings for fill flash >> I can never decide how much is enough or to much when attempting to use fill flash.... Oh and do you use a diffuser ? I"m guessing my 500mm and Better Beamer might be to much for these little guys The Better Beamer might light them on fire Anthony Thanks, Anthony. I used at first the 300mm f/2.8 with ext. tubes and fill flash, but I wasn't all that confortable with that combo, so I switched to the 300mm f/4 with no ext. tubes and fill flash. I didn't use any diffuser and the fill flash was set to -1 to -2/3 depending how close I was to the butterflies. No, I wouldn't use the BB, that might burn the butterflies to death.

Thanks, Nello . You should try to shoot butterflies. It can be very rewarding. That's pollen on the butterfly's proboscis. Socrate May 06, 2008 at 10:01 PM
