Butterflies

Not being a wildlife photographer I thought I would have a go at taking a few shots of the butterflies surrounding the Buddleia bush in my garden. I decided to use a 300mm f2.8 with a 1.4x adaptor, so as to let me stay back from the butterflies making the task easier than using my 100mm macro. Unfortunately I ran out of time so I will try again with the macro and also some extension tubes. Once I have perfected the technique I will have a go at capturing something more interesting with improved  backgrounds & in a better location.
