Big Butterfly, Pt. 2 - _TNY_4535 - a photo on Flickriver

When I purchased my (second-hand) Sigma 180 mm macro lens plus 2x teleconverter, the main idea was to be able to shoot tropical butterflies at the butterfly house using a tripod, but it turns out it can be used for other subjects as well, especially when shooting from prone.

To be fair, this poplar admiral is one of the largest species in Sweden and well inside the size range of the tropical ones.

This one kept landing quite a bit out in front of me on a logging road outside Härnösand, Sweden and each time I got close enough for a photo it took off and flew a little further up the road.

Eventually I opted for getting down on all fours and just crawl closer and finally got this shot of it with the wings down and another with them up here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54023539505/

My loving wife also snapped a shot of me concentrating on nailiong the shot and not on trying to not look like a dork here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54023764814/
