[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 553275, member: 24285"] Talk about a miss-match. I thought we were going into a butterfly display, and I thought the butterflies may be fluttering up in the trees and a fair distance away. Even though the promotion read: "[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]This exhibit will be packed with extravagant hydrangeas, baby’s breath and cineraria as well as large topiaries of butterflies and other pollinators." they were using butterflies as a metaphor - there were only paper butterfly decorations. So here I was with a 200-500 superzoom taking pictures of flowers in Edmonton's Muttart Conservatory glass pyramids. And it worked!! Focus distance is about 10 feet (it says 7.2 but I don't think I could get that close - does it matter which camera you are using or do the settings change the min. focus distance?) But certainly I had to back up a lot. [/FONT][/COLOR][ATTACH=CONFIG]209567._xfImport[/ATTACH] paper butterflies. ... oh well at least they don't move. Love the faded bokeh on this one [ATTACH=CONFIG]209568._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]209569._xfImport[/ATTACH] This one of the cactus buds was shot a lot more than 10 feet away - this cactus was on top of a display and easily 10 feet tall itself. Probably 20-25 feet away. This shot rivals my macro's. [ATTACH=CONFIG]209570._xfImport[/ATTACH][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana] I'd have to admit that a 105 2.8 macro would have been a better choice for a floral shoot (and probably a butterfly shoot too) but this is the lens I had and I made the most of it.
