This little guy-gal was a blast to photograph. I had the telephoto lens on at the time. I got as close as possible. The tele lens is not as crisp on the close shots, but I like the softer effect with the butterflies. I just can't get close enough to the butterflies with the macro that came with the Canon. Not sure if this would be considered macro (tele lens used), so I left it out of cat and tags. Any suggestions on a macro lens that great for the $$$, and any suggestions for a newbie trying to take macros with a real camera (instead of the phone method I'm used to) is so greatly appreciated.
