Usman, that macro lens is treating you well! This is fantastic!! #10407331Usman M. Bajwa November 06, 2012
Thanks all for your kind comments.Bob, if I remember correctly the front of the lens must be 1 feet (the closest it can get) from the front of the butterfly head, it was shot in the morning and the butterfly gave no attention whatsoever to the camera and cameraman and took all the nectar and then it just flew away.
