Gatekeeper

I didn't get much of a chance this weekend to photograph anything, apart from a quick walk around Lydiard Park on Sunday. Plenty of butterflies about, though it was rather windy and most of them flew away as soon as they heard the camera shutter.

This is my favorite of the bunch, and while heavily cropped shows excellent detail. I'm definitely very pleased with the Canon 100mm f/2.8 L lens I recently bought!

  2. Cheers, would have been nice to lose the thistle on the left, but I'm not overly lucky with butterfly shots - I think this is probably the fourth I've got!
