Hello All!
Feel bad I havn't been on the much here ~ my kids have gotten out of school and they have been on this computer that has my images 24/7 -its been a really hot week here sometimes over 110 so all three girls have been in the house to keep cool. But I miss you all and wanted to drop by a hello and put this image of a butterfly I captured in the tall grasses. No crop here I was lucky enough to get REALLY close to this guy and shot it on macro mode with my nikon 7900 pocket cam. ( I have four cameras now that I always drag around with me everywhere but always seem to reach for my old nikon- uhmmm it's a funny sight that beat up old cam held together with a rubber band these days and It dosn't really close properly now but I still love doing macros with it LOL!!!! DONT LAUGH NOW )
I am not sure of this butterfly's type but it had beautiful golden colors so titled.
Hope you like my golden butterfly I had done it today much much larger but figured I would reduce it for easier viewing. hmm wondering what do most of you prefere larger or smaller presentations online?....just curious today about that !
Thanks for all your time and comments !!!!
Love to all!!!
((( BIG HUGS )))

A great macro, keep using the old cam it is doin' fine ;) - larger or smaller - ummmmmmm well larger I suppose but not bigger than my screen. Bt then we all have different size monitors and resolutions so that doesn't help you does it. Just go for what size suits you best.

I have no prefrence to sizes just so long as it is big enough to be able to enjoy looking at the images..nothing worse than having to squint your eyes and leaning into the computer trying to see something.. What a brilliant Macro shot of this stunning butterfly, the colours and clarity are perfect...congratulations..I love your gallery...

What a beautiful image Kimarie. And I fully understand about the good old compacts and macro's. They have greater depth of field for that use than the SLR's. Oh, and I hope you have good backups of your images because more people on your puter more of the time brings that disaster a little closer every day.

Very well done. Nice macro-capture. I don´t think it´s a monarch, but I´m not sure. Have you got a capture of his wings upside? Greets Markus

Not a Monarch but a beauty for sure and well captured. I just recently went online looking for a spare Nikon 7900. Mine is doing fine but one never knows and I think I would rather lose a digit than my pocket cam, lol. BTW - I could not find a new one but I did find some factory refurbished ones for around $300 with a 2 GB card an extra battery as well as a charger. I almost ordered it, lol. As to size, I agree with the fill the screen advocates as long as the image is crisp and sharp with minimal noise in the background. I have often wondered about what would be the best size to post and finally decided to do what I wanted and hope for the best, lol. Thanks for sharing this great Butterfly. Lee

It is an amazing capture Kimmers, and to say it is hand held and not cropped, very impressive indeed. I've never seen such a butterfly, the colour and markings are beautiful. great presentation.
