I got the Canon A4000 IS and walked the few steps to the fence.
Now the problem. Much as I like this little camera, this was the very situation in which the lack of a view-finder practically precludes getting the shot.
The examples shown here were by point and by guess, for the screen
swas so washed out by the sunlight that no effort to shade it would allow me to focus on the object of my choosing. Major flaw. Fortunately, I still have my A520, so the next time the butterflies fly my way, I'll be better prepared.
Still lovely however. =)
ReplyDeleteAnd these last few days have been blessed with glorious weather, making those butterflies even more spectacular. Those little butterflies must feel as good as we all do in it-
ReplyDelete5 degrees here this morning, with -15 wind chill. No butterflies here today.
ReplyDeleteIt's still nice to see the little guys!
ReplyDeleteIt's FREEZING here this morning--but I'm not complaining. Nope. No way. It's finally feeling like WINTER! Hooray.
Now...for some snow....
Beautiful to look at during this stretch of cold and brown.
ReplyDeleteJacquelineand, more luck than skill.
ReplyDeleteShelly, I believe days like this must make all nature sing!
Jim, too darn cold.
Lin, we are happy for you that you are getting your winter weather.
Vee, may your days brighten up!
Ah butterflies! the photos came out well...
ReplyDeleteBeen out in the cold and snow today. Errand had to be run. No sign of butterflies around these parts.
ReplyDeleteMaybe down the road a whoop and a holler . . . (one I left out yesterday)
Grace, beautiful sight, lucky shots.
ReplyDeleteChuck, from there it would doubtless be a mighty loud whoop and a long holler.
Addendum for Chuck:
ReplyDeleteHow far was it between the tips of Babe's horns? Two axe handles and a plug of chewing tobacco?
Love the spot pattern on them. Don't know the kind.
ReplyDeleteShark, they are lovely creatures. Sometimes there are some sulfurs along with them.
