Your butterfly in-flight is a male Monarch;
your second image is a female Monarch;
your third photo is snapdragon flowers.
I like the near monochromatic look of your dragonfly.
Tom DePuy's photo is of a Gulf Fritillary.

Thanks for the identification Nikonian! I knew they were Monarchs but did not realize one was male and one was female - interesting!

Is the dragon fly captured with natural lighting, Belle? I really like that image! I think I'm going to make it my "Desktop Background of the Month".....with your permission. Matted and framed with a black matting.......a special image.
Ha! Special, but I didn't have to post it twice! Sorry.....it's Friday night.....long week.

Dave - yes, natural lighting. All I did was crop and sharpen. Please feel free to use as your desktop image!

I usually do only portraiture, but decided recently to expand my horizons a bit. I spent a few hours at a nearby garden trying to get some butterfly shots - I can see how it would be addiciting!
The flowers, the birds, the butterflies; I am thinking I may have to go back and try again!
Anyway, here are a few, thanks for looking!

Not the sharpest focus, but loved the "in flight" look
I think this one looks like stained glass
Not sure what this flower is, but LOVED the colors
Found a dragonfly too...

Love this lens but just don't use the focal length enough. I got it for Christmas last year, and it was purchased in December of 2011.
Lens, original box, tulip hood, lens cover and back cover included.
They sell new for about 470.00, can find them used on ebay for 380.00, selling minde for 350.00, shipping included.
PayPal, M/C, Visa, American Express or Discover accepted.
Please PM me if interested, thanks for looking.

Went for a walk this past weekend and saw the apple trees bearing beautiful fruit. That is a sure sign of fall approaching here in Maine...although it is my favorite season of the year, I don't think summer was long enough.

The picture looks as crisp as I bet that apple tastes!
No fall here. Temps in the 90's today.

Thanks Swamp Gator! Trying to expand my photographic horizons, I usually shoot portraiture only. It's been fun looking through the lens at different things. (Much easier to pose an apple then a High School Senior, by the way)
Temps are getting down in the 50-60 degree range at nights, but it's still pretty humid and in the 80's during the day. Love the Maine weather....

colo43 - I confess that after I took this shot, I picked the apple and munched away. It was VERY tasty!

Thinking about purchasing a lens for my arsenal. (... (show quote)
I have a T3I and use that lens for all my portrait work. It is outstanding and I love the images I get with it. Also, it helps me stay back a little from the person I am photographing and makes them more at ease since I am not right up in their face during out shoot. They are always amazed when they see their pictures how "close" they are - I almost always hear "Wow, I thought I was going to look much further away!".
Anyway, I would highly recommend the lens. I hope you don't mind me posting a pic on your thread, but I wanted to show you what my T3i and Canon 85mm get me for images.
Good luck with your decision!
