Autumn Butterfly
I’ve been having to get very close to the butterflies with my macro lens, but I decided to stalk them this time with my 400mm lens. I could keep a safe distance without scaring them away and came up with pretty good results on this Gulf Fritillary with its wings outspread. I’ll have to try this more often and see what happens.

Hehe, well down Bonnie. I too have been trying to figure out how to capture butterflies, either by sneaking up, patiently sitting or using my telephone lens, and can totally understand the effort.
