High Up - _TNY_6706
A female Low's swallowtail (Papilio lowii) which had landed of a leaf high up (like 230 cm / 7'6") at the Haga Ocean butterfly house.
This meant getting the tripod up to max height (even putting the legs a bit closer together) and utilizing the extra reach of the 360 mm focal length provided with the 2x teleconverter to get close enough.
I think it worked out just fine and that this is a very pretty species.
As a comparison, here is a male: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52721755981/
