Description

Sigma 105mm EX DG (the new one work decided to give me because i ordered canon for a pentax mount - duh!). Post in photoshop. I only realised that i had the camera on an ISO of around 600 when i got back today from my girlfriend's house. No wonder it wasnt giving me long exposure times inside - i just wasnt thinking. Probably for the best but i did have to do some "despeckling" on all the shots because of the noise, which wasnt massive to start with - its just that i am a bit of a perfectionist ;) Anyway - this (as the guidebook tells me) is a Hacales Longwing butterfly - from memory it's native to costa rica... but i shot this one in Bedford, UK =) Thanks for taking a look. Enjoy! If you want to take a look at more of my shots than just the ones here on Renderosity: My Online Gallery
