Re: Florida Gallery (mostly Butterfly Macros)
Thank you all for commenting... Paul - I like 'Resting Butterfly' as well but had trouble picking a single best shot. Christina - I think some of those focusing problems are a very shallow depth of field, can't get it all in. Dave - A dud lens for sure - NOT! You Auzzies are pretty good at finding the special lenses (and enablement). Ken - Interesting comment about butterflies competing with the flora. I wonder if I've become bored with simple record shots of various butterflies and am looking for something more with the flora. In post processing, some of the simplest shots stand out. Bob W. - The Voightlander does really show off in rendering of Out of Focus areas, the K10D held up pretty well too.;-) I guess the Wood Stork doesn't really belong with the butterflies. Joe - Thanks for looking and commenting. Rick - Thanks, I think he's feeding off of the red flower. I saw more feeding activity than usual that day and the lens worked to my advantage to capture it. Now the down side of this gallery came when my wife reviewed the gallery. Gee honey, I should borrow that lens when I take flower photos. Now we're enabling spouses! Thanks again, I appreciate all the comments. They help me see the photos from a different perspective and learn how to better edit them in the future. Regards, Bob S.

Nice work. They look great. Resting Butterfly is my favorite.

Re: Florida Gallery (mostly Butterfly Macros)
Hi Bob: Wow. More shots with a Voightlander. I just posted to Derby that I'd never heard of Voightlander before subscribing to this list and that after seeing shots with this lens, I've got a strong itch to try the lens, and your lovely butterfly photos only made the itch itchier! My grand favorite is Blue Butterfly, but out of the bunch I also liked Feeding, Busy, Resting, Artistic, and Cameo. The stork is also a nice one. I think Florida Sunshine have some focusing problems, and for Sunshine Butterfly, I'd crop a little on the right. HTH. Overall, I really enjoyed seeing your butterfly photos--a photographic subject I never tire of gazing at.

RE: Florida Gallery (mostly Butterfly Macros)
There are some really beautiful pictures there, they show off the lens very well, and the lens seems to do great justices to the subjects bringing out their colour and texture. It seems to have a very subtle quality, the lens, and the bokeh is wonderful. This one, however, is the fugliest butterfly I've ever seen. You sure it's not a moth? http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6965490 Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Sullivan Sent: 23 February 2008 14:27 To: PDML Subject: Florida Gallery (mostly Butterfly Macros) http://photo.net/photos/bsullivan I've posted a small gallery on Photo.net from a trip to Florida earlier this month.

Re: Florida Gallery (mostly Butterfly Macros)
I too like resting buterfly for its simplicity. Cameo is good but I see it more in a portrait orientation with more room @ the top. Most of the others seem to have the butterflies competing with the flora.
