    IMO, these are very nice. If you gave more consideration to the lighting and background, they would be excellent. - Terry

    Your camera is fine. It's just a tool

    Re: more butterflies

    That first image from the first post is stellar!

    Regardless of what camera you use, keep your eye on the light quality, direction, and background. With macro/closeup work, I often find a suitable place first and then wait for a subject to come.
    Please do not edit or repost my images.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?

    Thank-you for all of your advice.
    You make it sound easy, I like many other just randomly shoot hoping for the best, does that make sense?
