    Le Papillon

    First serious attempt at hunting butterflies in France... found a small meadow and got some funny looks from the locals!

    Nicely caught, making the best use of the lens I see.

    As to the locals, you realise that was probably their dinner you were photographing.
    Look, I'm an old man. I shouldn't be expected to put up with this.

        Thanks Pete, I've never had a lens with this reach before so I think I need to work on my technique and maybe invest in a monopod; even with really fast shutter speeds it was hard to keep things steady.

        I did have one chap asking me what I was doing but he spoke no English and I speak no French but a bit of hand waving and showing him the pictures kept him happy!
