Hello everyone....

I am back for a short while... life have been really hectic at the moment, a lot going on. Sorry if I didn't have time to visit you all, haven't forget anyone, in fact, I miss TL and all of you here, after all... is a place I stick my face onto it almost few hours a day and everyday before we moved.

Anyway...today I am taking a break to test out my new lens, still need lots of practise on how to use it properly, but after 3 hours shooting in this butterfly house, I think I am getting a bit better.

My very first catapiller's shot... I am glad it turn out o.k. According to the keeper in the butterfly house, it is unusual to see The Majestic Monarch Butterfly still around at the end of May, as what the news said, this May is the warmest May in 20 years.

Anyway, I hope you all like it, all feedback are welcome. Take care and have a wonderful day ahead... Thanks for viewing.

Hi Sweety,
Good to see you'r back. Hopefully your life will become a bit less hectic than it is know. Regarding your picture; a very special DOF, using the large aperture of f/2.8 takes care for the blurred BG. The colours and contrast are stunning. Well done hope to see soon morepictures taken with your new lens!
TFS and take care, all the best hope tfor you you will have a definitive house soon!
