Fantastic shots all. Would you like to share your technique for capturing these elusive creatures in flight?
I have been trying for a long time to capture butterflies in flight and so far nothing but frustration.
One great thing about capturing these with a long lens is the the entire image is sharply focused (not macro sharp), and the DOF is good. My personal preference is to to use Manual Mode with auto ISO. I keep the shutter for stills or flight at 1/2500, this will give me a sharp image for either and reduces noise. It sure as heck helps that the the D850 is full frame and crops at approx 20 mps. I truly believe that Tamron is the best long lens.....
