taipei-i
I’m just back from a short visit to Taipei, Taiwan. Here are some butterfly shots I took there, using Fujifilm X100S & Raynox DCR-150.
(1) Mangrove Tree Nymph (Idea leuconoe chersonesia), a.k.a. Paper Kite, Rice Paper, or Large Tree Nymph
(2) Blue Glassy Tiger (Ideopsis vulgaris)
(3) Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus), a.k.a. African or Asian Monarch

Such gorgeous shots, the monarch butterfly is just spectacular. I have tried to do this repeatedly without success so I really appreciate your results.

Gorgeous! Where in the world did you find that close up lens? I can’t find it here in the U.S.

Thanks Deborah! It’s made by a Japanese company, and I think you can find the products on Amazon as well. http://raynox.co.jp/english/digital/egdigital.html
