Great shot. I agree: we need more pics from the monarchy. -----Original Message----- From: frank theriault <knarftheria...@gmail.com> Sender: pdml-boun...@pdml.net Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2010 19:45:50 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List<PDML@pdml.net> Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: PESO - Monarchs
Colonel Sam Smith Park at the bottom of our street seems to be a stopping off point for monarchs gathering for their migration down south. There were thousands of them, and fortunately (since it was cloudy) not many people. I was able to quietly walk right up to the trees they were gathering on and get quite a few close ups. I must have taken about 250 frames (bracketing, so really about 80 or 90 shots). It was spectacular (the monarchs, not my shots) and I'll need hours just to go through them and choose the best few for a small gallery. Until then, here's an early shot I took which I rather like. Hope you do, too: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/monarchs.html *istD, Tamron SP 90mm f2.5 macro, handheld.
