We went to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens Saturday. The butterflies in the rainforest room were in full courtship. Unfortunately it was an overcast day, and whey were flirting in the shadows. So the BG in these shots is darker than I like even with the ISO at 1,200 or more.
They were so excited that even with the flash there is wing blur in some of the shots.
Here is the pertinent Exif info from image #3: Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Focal Length: 150mm Aperture: f/11.0 Exposure Time: 1/200-sec ISO equiv: 800 Flash Fired: Yes (Auto, return light detected)

Sounds right. I was ranging from 400-4,000 ISO while we were there.
