What's Buzzing or Flying near You Today..?? Mark 2..!!

Strongy, Great shots Is this the same thing? I photographed yesterday at the Olympic Park.

 

The Purple Loosestrife down by the pond seems to have come into it's own today for attracting the Butterflies, Bees and other insects as there were swarms of them visiting it. Nearly all of the Butterflies were Small Tortoiseshell........but I'm not complaining

 

I love the Comma's, Chiaroscuro, and those are great pics. I've probably only seen three or four this year, but I'm content in the fact that I've seen more varieties of Butterflies in greater numbers this year than I have for several years, here's to next year.

 

Actually, Chiaroscuro, I didn't think the resolution of your camera was bad at all. I've only just bought this particular camera, 3 weeks ago, which is a Pentax K5, and I'm trying to "get my head around it" The wind usually doesn't blow until you're about to take the picture!!!. But I try to get a fairly sharp picture by using 1/125 of a second with whatever ASA speed it takes to get that shutter speed, and hopefully stopping any blurring cause by the wind [or me]. I'm also using a 50-200mm lenses but only because I'm trying to get used to using it. Here's a couple I took today but found myself struggling with the depth of field





I guess it's just a matter of taking your time and getting your thoughts together when taking a shot. I shan't mention the number of shots I deleted because they were, shall we say, not good.:wallbang:
