I had this fella visiting the garden yesterday, and followed him around the flowers with my 500. Handheld with shutter speeds between 1/100 - 200

Hey there, neat set - we need more bugs on this site!!! Love the colors in the first one, along with the perfect definition of wing veins and patterning. I like the in-and-out DOF in #3, the comical verticality of #4, and the OOF fly in the BG of #5. What lens was this Glad to see you posting again!!!

I hope you are resting well now Chasing butterflies with a 500 doesn't seem like an easy task, however I am sure enjoying your efforts Some very nice comps and colors, #7 seems so light and delicate, neat shot as well as the vert shot with wings folded tight.

Gene,

Anyone shooting butterflies on a fall-blooming sedum will appreciate these. Count me one. The first one is a little light on monarch orange, all the others are great, wish I had done so well today. I missed every single monarch I had a shot at - great work, and as Karl said, shooting butterflies with a 500 is not a task for girly-men -

Hi, Gero. Nice to see you posting again. You did a very good job shooting butterflies with the 500 handheld and getting such nice and focused images. 6 and 8 are my favorites.

The Purple / Green / Monarch colors go very nice together.

Nice captures

Hey guys,
its good to be back. Been very busy and have not had any time to shoot this summer. Thanks for the nice comments.

Sue, I used the 500 for these.

Ken, the croc was busy eating the neighbor's dogs - far more meat and tastier than a butterfly

Karl, it was exhausting. Trying to follow a butterfly in the viewfinder on a windy day left me quite dizzy

David, Socrate, Ant, Bean and Doug, thanks for the comments.

there is more to come - I'm shooting with a vengeance
