Thanks Vearl if you were speaking to me.... I was away from my computer for a while and just came back. I took those photos at the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati. They have a butterfly show every year with thousands of butterflies from around the world. The butterflies fly everywhere and sometimes even land on your clothing or hair. I don't have a close-up or a macro lens. I use my 70-200mm and the closest focus that I can get with my telephoto is between 4.5 - 5.0 feet. I was thinking about getting a Canon 100mm f/2.8 IS macro but they cost an additional $300-$400 more than the Non-IS lens version! I might just keep using my 70-200mm because I won't need to get as close. I can use my 24-70mm if I need to get closeup. Thanks again for you comment. Have a nice day and keep warm... having a cold spell in Cincinnati compared to last week's temperatures but it is winter here and as usual the temps fluctuate a lot for this region.
