Butterfly shots from today.

[philaitman]

70-300VR and a D50.
I was sat in the garden at my inlaws and there were butterflies galore.
Most were so close they were inside the min focus distance on the lens.
Here's a few I'm happy with.

These are really good, thats a nice lens you have there. What processing did you do to them?

[philaitman]

Basic Raw processing in Lightroom.
Export as Tiff into Photoshop. Add border, resize, sharpen and save as jpeg.
