Butterflies, Moths and Assorted Insects...

[Nemorino]

I went for a walk in the inner city and met an "old friend". I've been waiting since 2018 to meet it again. Sadly I had neither a macro nor the RF100-400 in my bag, just the RF24-205L

I went to the same place at the same time and met it again but this time with the RF100-400 in my bag.


R5 + RF 100-400 @ 1/4000, f/9, Iso 12 800

Really nice shots, Nemorino! I used a 7DMll + EF 100mm f/2.8L macro.

Both of these are R5 24-240 @ 130mm f6.3 1/1600 ISO 800

I don't know my butterflies but capturing this one in flight was a trick.

Just a fly
R5 + RF100 2.8 @ f/14, Iso 10 000, 1/500s

 

[Nemorino]

those wings beat like crazy.

1/8000s can freeze them!

Great shots but it's kind of standard for you...

 

[ISv]

Didn't take shots of butterflies recently. These are first in months.

 

[Maximilian]

1/8000s can freeze them!

Thanks for that info. Did you try, if something less works?
I can't do it for my own, because we had and have a lot of rain (thankfully!) the last days and this year I saw a hummingbird moth just once.
