First time I've got a shot of an Orange-tip Butterfly from the side. (R5 + RF 100-400mm - great set up fro butterflies!)

Very good shot Alan! You got pretty much the right colors (well, the background is "A" too). They are common there and still beautiful! Now try to get the female - not "orange tips" and not as colorful but for the collection! I have no idea where in Italy are you (if still there!) but look for the Eastern Orange Tip too!

A fly, which after processing, I now see as a Hoverfly, hovered in front of me for a few seconds while I was seeking a bird (R5/1000mm, 20 fps).

I still wonder how you could capture this "video" with a 1000mm focal length in such a good quality.
Were you a sniper in a former life?

 

[Nemorino]

First day with the RF 100L 2.8 macro and my R5


and the first with the SAC set to +1 (If I remember correctly)


I like the vintage look ooc this lens can produce.

Nice pictures. I especially like the first one.

Latticed Heath Moth, R5+RF100-500mm. Isn't it marvellous that you can be taking a bird in flight one minute and the next be capturing an insect 1.6m away at near macro the next with the same lens!

It really is marvelous! Is this moth cropped?

Yes, it is cropped to 2249x1780 from the original 8192x5464. The distance was 1.83m according to the EXIF.

Impressive details. Well done, Nemorino.

 

[Maximilian]

Once again some white butterfly that I cannot 100% determine. Could be a female orange tip.
If anyone can help me, please let me know.
