A macro shot this week, taken with the D300 and Sigma 105 2.8 Macro.
This was taken during a visit to "Wild Britain", at Wilden in Bedfordshire. (More details on Wild Britain are HERE)
I really liked the way the striking Black and White of the Tree Nymph Butterfly contrasted with the colour in the flowers.
The Macro lens at f4 really threw the background mainly out of focus, but still kept enough detail to give the feeling of being in 'the wild'.
I still struggle with focussing with the Macro - In this case I went to manual focussing, which seemed to work much better than auto for this kind of image.
The Butterfly kept nice and still too, which helped!
The image is slightly sharpened in photoshop, with the corners 'burnt' to emphasize the central focus.
