    I thought I would post a sequence here on photographing butterflies in flight. I have been trying this for the past week or so and am finding it quite challenging. I have been focusing on a butterfly on a flower giving enough room in the frame for its take off and trying to burst shots as it is flying off its perch. I have been using a Canon 7D2 body, 70-200 f2.8L IS II, and 1.4x TC III. ISO 400. My aperture on all these shots has been f4 and shutter speed has been mainly 1/5000s. Hand held. Just wondering if any other members have experience with this or any ideas on technique, thoughts on these posted images, etc. The trade off on DOF and shutter speed is a challenge but I've opted for the max shutter speed for my preferred ISO to eliminate as much motion blur as possible.

    'hope this thread is appropriate for this forum...
