Butterflies
I recently purchased a 105-mm macro lens and I thought what better place to take it for a spin, as it were, than in a butterfly vivarium.

The close up of the wing, above, is one of my best photos in some time. I really like the detail in this photo, and the darn thing was still long enough to capture it without a tripod.

Given I’m new to the macro thing, none of these are focus stacked. So, there’s a region of focus and the rest is… not.
