It was drizzling almost the whole time that Jon and I were shooting harleqins with Uncle Sunny. However, it turned out to be quite a fruitful trip for me(probably also for Jon). There were quite a few harlequins in the middle part of the trip, even though most of them were hiding at the other times. It was my second sighting of Riodinidae butterflies, first sighting of harlequin and chequered lancer.:)

Good job, Brian :cheers:
Unlike point and shoot camera, for DSLR you need to control the DOF and get parallel to the butterfly as much as possible. You have done well during your first outing with the big gun :cheers:
WoW!!!:what: :what: :what: :what:
Brian, you have amazing shots to show for your first time using DSLR!!
Even I did not do so well!
The quality of your shots has already shot up, way to go!;P
Like Uncle Loke pointed out, you have done a pretty good job getting your depth of field right. The first lesson is to 'get down low' to the eye level of the butt. You have done it!
Based on what I see, you can do in one trip, what took me a year to master!
Keep shooting!!!
