Here is a Common Buckeye I photographed in late May.... First time using my 300mm lens. the evening sun was just starting to be soft so I thought it brought out the soft colors. I am still struggling with the set up (weight and no VR) and most of my posts use my other camera and macro..... but I like how this lens handles the background and want to get better at using it.
D700, 300mm, hand held. ISO 200, F7,1, 1/400s, -.3EV ... I re-processed it this evening with levels and curves, sharpening and cropping (NX2). I cropped off the rest of the plant because it distracted from the butterfly. CC welcome.
