Hi All,
After visiting my doctor this
morning, I went to the Widnes Butterfly house, Victoria Park Widnes / intent on
taking some photo's. I was lucky as it
was very quiet and had the place to myself for about an hour.
I found it difficult getting a
decent manual focus on them with my camera and lens, as the sweat was running
into my eyes all of the time and my T Shirt was soaked through with the
humidity and warmth that the butterflies have to be kept in to keep them alive.
I started taking photo's with my
100m Macro lens and ended up using my 70-200mm as I found it easier to auto
focus and get the whole of the subjects in focus. Also could stand further away
and not to disturb them.
I found that the camera flash
showed the butterflys colours etc up better than without, as it was a bit of a
dull day outside in the cooler air.
At one point I had to get out
quick, as I frightened a few and the rest stampeded and Ii would have gotten
trampled to death ;-)

Some absolute stunners on their facebook page, no wonder Jeff Clarke loves the place.
