Papillons en fête

I haven't uploaded any thing to my Flickr page for months now, so I thought I should put up some photos I have taken at a recent visit to a butterfly farm.... Enjoy..

Con ésta foto me despido unos días, me voy a tierras germanas a "descansar"; a ver si traigo más material para subir, aunque se me está acumulando un poco :S.

Buen finde y demás! Beeeeeesos!!

We were a few days in Sauerland. There I took many macro-shots.

Thread -Waisted Wasp on a Sweet Pepper Bush flower

Technique: I found this butterfly at the beginning of the day, a little more hungry than afraid of me. I held my finger close to the critter and waited for it to start eating the artificial nectar I had on my finger, then carefully coaxed it into climbing on. Took me three tries, and I was surprised that I pulled it off. Later in the day when the butterfly is casually feeding I don't think it would have worked.

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 25mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key and "B" as the fill, both on the Canon flash mount). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
