Hello

I was having a play with an old manual 80/200 f4 + macro lens on my k200 body in the local wood.I spotted this butterfly and took a few grabbed shots after shooting under the trees in the shade - they were handheld and nothing done to the shot save a bit of cropping - was a fairly bright day and shooting towards the sun - randomly shot at f16 400 iso at 1/125 sec on manual...

any comments / advice

Well captured Paul, two perfectly good images, maybe just a little brightening up wouldn't harm (the Butterflies a Peacock:wink

2 lovely shots with nice DOF and Love the Bokeh on 2 but both seem a little soft.

Nice shots, download the free version of Paint Shop Pro 30 day trial, you will probably buy it great program.

Hi!

There is great free software available, and I can't recommend enough Gimp and Paint.net. Gimp is Photoshop like and can be made even more like it by using the GIMPshop modification/addon.

Best regards
