Experiments with Closeup


Peacock butterfly taken with 50 mm macro lens - it was a fairly 'lazy' butterfly and allowed me to get close with 50mm macro lens. Many of the other insects were more wary and wouldn't let me close enough.













Following suggestions from John at our meeting last night, I tried an extension ring and 1.4 converter used together with my 100-400 lens. I needed to manually focus but it certainly allowed me to photograph some very skittish Painted lady butterflies, which wouldn't let me close enough with the 50 mm lens.
