Well the gang was at Fairchild Tropical Gardens today and I'm sure there will be plenty of versions of these love making butterflies. Hope you enjoy mine. Image taken with my Canon 50D on tripod, ISO 200, f/4.5, 1/250 sec, EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, 200mm, Evaluative Metering, Auto Exposure, Auto WB, No Flash. Comments Welcome
Sure was fun Richard and you came up with a good one !!! I like how you were able to move around and get a decent bg for the bugs ... getting low was the key !!!
Subject angle and dialing the perfect focal length makes this one sing. Spot-on exposure (the 2.8 is a great lens) you captured a great moment in the life of nature.
Richard, what was the time and do you mostly use WB/auto?

Jeff, this image was taken at around 9 am. Unless I'm shooting an image for HDR or a panorama, something that needs all the settings to be the same, I shoot auto WB and RAW. Most of the time this works for me with maybe a slight adjustment in ACR. I also shoot sunsets/sunrises in cloudy WB so I can see the color better on my LCD. Glad you enjoyed the image.....
I do basically the same. Early morning I often use cloudy to highlight morning colors and auto when light gets higher in the sky. Thanks, I do enjoy your work.
Love at Fairchild
