    For some reason - all the butterflies I saw today didn't want their picture taking. I had to use my 70-300mm lens with extension rings on. The results weren't as close as I wanted but this butterfly was 15 feet away from me - I didn't fancy fighting with nettles and thistles to get the shot :) Posted 10 years ago

      I went out for a short walk and had the same thing. Then again, looks like you also went at the hottest time of day, when they are most active. Either way, still a great shot! Posted 10 years ago
