Nice shots, especially no.5. The butterfly lodge looks like a fun place. Are the butterflies more tame there? They always move so fast. Is there a trick to taking them? May I know what are the settings?

Sorry, I'm not the butterfly expert. To be honest, I never like to take butterfly as they like to fly fast. I have to chase like a mad dog.

The butterfly lodge's butterfly is tamer as I can do a close up with them. I can even hold them on my hands. For beginner like me, I would go butterfly lodge to take pictures as I too lazy to chase butterfly.

Very nice photos and composition!

I really liked the lacewings. =)

I'm just wondering... was your working distance really close since you used a Ranox?

Cheers,

The butterfly is pretty tame and I can even hold them by hand. I guess you can shot with Raynox with close distance with no problem at all.
