Photographed some butterflies at the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area a few weeks ago. Set up the long lens near some thistle the butterflies appeared to like and waited for them to land. This technique seemed to work better than chasing them around with a short lens, although it was also a difficult shoot in terms of lighting, backgrounds, etc. Climbing the macro photography learning curve has been fun, and the critiques and comments from this forum have been very helpful.
