So, I never took real "wild life" pictures, but as I was walking near the lake, yesterday's afternoon, I found this little fellow hanging around.
The shot was taken with a 70-200 F2.8 @ F2.8, ISO 400 and 1/800 shutter speed. I really like it =)
Hi Dumien,
The picture has nice colors and i am no expert at this, but i think the background is distracting. If you shot it at f2.8 i don't know how to get a wider DOF for this pic. Maybe at 200mm ?
Cheers!

Well, I took it at 200mm... the bird was quite far, so to get close enough I also had to crop a little bit...
anyway, thanks for the comment

Some great shots all around. Loving the flowers from everyone. Here's a few from my latest macro outing.
Dann those are really cool. Really need to get my macro lens out and get in some practice.

I was leaving the trail to head to Point Reyes National Seashore from Pinnacles National Monument. Saw this beautiful butterfly fly around me a few times and then land on these flowers. So I just had to get a shot. So hard to take shots at macro focusing distances and 420mm. I put the camera to manual focus and the minimum focus distance, but I kept taking shots with the back wing in focus. Finally I got some good shots with the head/face in focus.
Had to do some burning and dodging because 11am sun is just to harsh! Flowers were overexposed and the butterfly was slightly underexposed. Like how it came out though.
Anybody know the name of the butterfly?

I like this shot very much, besides the butterfly and the flowers, the background looks very pleasing too.
