My First Butterfly Shot

EOSimages · 30th of March 2006 (Thu)

This was taken today with my Canon 300D, Tamron AF28-300mm Aspherical Macro Lens. This was a job cuz he wouldn't hold still very long & it's the first insect photograph I have ever tried. I hope you like it.

Hi Bo,

Very beautiful pipevine. However, I think the crop is a little too heavy. That causes very noisy picture and thus lost of detail. To fill the frame, you can move closer to the subject. I know it's hard but the 300mm lens should allow to you take its picture without spooking it.

I've tried that many times and have great success.

Is this one better pard, or I did I completely miss what you were saying?

#2 is way better. Normally it's good to fill the frame with the subject but achieving it thru heavy cropping is not a good way. Further, the environment often adds to the picture too. Your original picture is a good example.

The second one works for me. I find the flowers add to the shot and the image is sharper than the first.

Thanks Gary. I think I'm really starting to get the hang of this digital stuff!
