Post your best current shots

Pat I almost bought the same plant a few weeks ago Nice shots, beautiful butterflies. The second shot is my favorite as well.
Wow +16 on an L-lens...that's just within the boundaries. Did you calibrate on different focusing distances? I remember that my 100mmL was spot on perfect on close-up distances, but was severely front-focusing on full body portrait distances.

Thanks.

I did do the calibration at differnt focal lengths. I tend to use this one mostly for close up work so I used the results for closer. However, at greater distances it was actually worse if anything. It is a sharp lens... just poor focus calibration. I probably should have took it back to get adjusted. I did the FoCal just within a year of buying it, but it seems to work good now. I always thought I was the problem before I made the adjustments, and I ended up dong a lot of manual focusing. But in the end, it works good now.

I need to get a more ridgid plan on testing lenses when I buy them and sending them back when they are out of whack. Live and learn.

Great macros, Pat. Super detail and nice bokeh.

I got to do some top-down driving this week. And next week looks like several days in the mid to upper 70s. More fun commuting in store.

Nice ride... it makes a long ride home a bit more enjoyable I bet.

Nice wheels. Can't say much for your house in the background, LOL

It's all about priorities. I had to cut corners somewhere.

And Pat, yes indeed, it makes the commute much more enjoyable. On a hot Friday afternoon I crank the a/c, put on some Bob Marley, and cruise the backroads to home. Very relaxing.

Went on a retreat this weekend. Had some fun in the mountains of northern Georgia.
