Very nice, how far was the lens from the Butterflies ?

I've never been able to get close enough to catch a photo.
 
Klaus...Yes i am with Stephanie....when ever I get close they fly away..please let-us know your secret....

Those were great images....

Incredible work,
I have the same problem too, although I haven't had much experience with shooting butterflies. I'm afraid my charming personality just doesn't keep them around.
 
Hi All,

whenever flight distances have to be kept, you need a thing called focal lenght.

In this case I took advantage of the incredible 18-200mm OS hyperzoom and a selfmade macro tube, which Uwe developed.

At 200mm, you can focus from front lens up to 6ft distance. That gets you an enourmous flexibility on the scene.

HERE, I once introduced the tube.

My distance from the butterfly was very different ... between some estimated 3 inches up to a yard.

See you with nice pictures

Klaus

P.S. Just move very very slowly when approaching them .....:)
