Martin, I can shoot a subject twice in quick succession and one will be sharp and the other fuzzy. However, I tend to hunch down when shooting plants, and try to get in a shot just before I fall over.
I have better success with a tripod. ![]() |

I've tried AF and MF with these subjects and I always use MF now. If nothing else may lens AF noise scares some species of bees !
I also use a little "shoulder pod" for added stability when a tripod would put me at the wrong height for the subject. p.s. JanetKP. Can you help with this one ? (that's the last !) http://www.pbase.com/image/19158431 |

Check this, I'm almost sure the butterfly is a High Brown Fritillary, Argynnis adippe.
See if you agree http://www.butterfly-conservation.org/ Look at the head and pointed nose/snout, or whatever one calls a butterfly's proboscis. The wings on your subject are the worst for wear and ragged along the edge, while the subject in the link are pristine. (^J^) |

Janet,
Thanks for this. Briliant site. High Brown would be a very good record for Scotland, I'm going to do some more digging. |
