Long Distance Macro, Pt. 2 - TNY20230705_140925
A second shot of yours truly shooting a mating couple of blues (either Plebejus idas P. or argus) at Kullarmark not far from my mother-in-law's house outside Härnösand, Sweden
Since the Sigma 180 (with or without teleconverter) has a minimum focusing distance of 46 cm (18.1") I had to hold the arm outstretched like this when stabilising the top of the fireweed with the butterflies.
End result here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53583442444/

Another shot of the same pair, taken much closer with a Canon MP-E65mm lens here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53029723140/
