Butterflies and Orchids

Sometimes you can't beat being in the right place, at the right time, with the right lens. Our front was covered in butterflies this morning.

And the orchids are in bloom again

..very scary looking plants...

Very nice! Is this a garden in front of your house or something?

Love how well the pics look. I suppose this was the Canon then?

I wonder if I could ask a favor of taking a pic with your Canon and another (as close as you can get to the same angle/perspective) with your Fuji, just for comparison?

I'll try to get around to taking some pictures. In the meantime you can learn a lot about a camera by using Flickr to search for camera types.

I note that these were taken with the 400D ... which lens did you use? I can't remember if you went for a long prime macro (does anyone make a 190mm macro prime, even?) or if this is on a telephoto quasi-macro lens like my old Sigma.
Either way, I like the shots, especially number 3. :)
