The Ladybird is with a Sigma 105mm. The Four Spotted is using the Sigma 150-500 @ 370mm tripod mounted. Probocis is a Sigma 18-250mm at 250mm as is the Painted Lady.

Cheers Guys.

The first two both look a little soft to me, but the last two are great shots.

No 3, the 'four spotted', is a great shot, and with a bigma!

The Ladybird was with the Sigma 105 and it was the first time i had used the lens, so reasonably satisfied even if a little soft.

No 3 for me. Beautiful!
No 4 looks a bit over sharpened to me, but still a lovely shot.

Hi Phil

The Four Spotted was taken on a K10 with a Sigma 150-500 at 370mm, tripod mounted and remote released.

Regards


Paul

PS. Petro - It is a little oversharp in order to see the probocis 'clearly'
