Tiger Swallowtail
While on Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina, I came across an amazing butterfly garden when my main macro tool, my Canon G10's battery ran out. My spare battery? Well it was charging back at the room. Was I going to give up? Call it a day? Hell no. Photography is all about being creative and resourceful with what you have. So -- I grabbed my EOS 7D, which I had been using with my 500mm to take close ups of bears and eagles and attached the only other lens in my bag -- a Canon 28mm 1.8 prime. And guess what? It works as an excellent macro lens.
This is an uncropped image taken with that lens, handheld. So there you have it. Macro with a wide angle lens.
