Butterfly Park

Located also at the KL Lake Gardens area, the Butterfly Park is home to 6,000 butterflies from 120 species. This time the macro function of the Sigma 70-300mm 4/5.6 APO lens was used. Effective from 200mm onwards, the minimum focussing distance is about 36 inches. It takes patience to shoot them things, fluttering all over & precise timing to get them with their wings opened. Maybe I'll need a dedicated macro lens to get sharper pics.....Will be checking out the Nikkor 60mm or 105mm and also the renowned Tamron SP90mm or the Sigma 105mm macro lens soon.

Pix 2 was shot at 195mm...Like you said, guess I should avoid the full 300mm to get sharper pics. Thanks for the comment!
