Nice shot yeocsa.

Why did you use the TC 14 ... ?
Did you want to keep some distance ?

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. This is the first time I am using the kit lens to do macro. I added at TC 1.4 to give me more magnification. I should have used the Ext. tube 25 instead. Usually I use Ext tube 25 and TC 1.4 together.

I happy to say that TC1.4 (Kenko Pro) with the Kit lens give me very fast and slient AF. I was quite surprise because usually I had to use manual focus.

regards,

Arthur

Very nicely captured shot Arthur :D

I see a butterfly landing on one flower over a period of time, so I set everything up to shoot next time he/she lands and guess what, they always go elsewhere :roll:

Hi sirhc55,

Thanks.

The best time to photo butterflies and dragonflies is early in the morning - when their wings are wet with dew. They will fly only after the sun has dried and warm up their bodies. The other good time to capture them is when they are feeding. Notice the butterfly in the picture has a tube from its mouth going into the flower. At other times, it is very difficult to capture them. Especially if you are using tripod.

regards,

Arthur
