Nature is fun, but frustrating ;D
Found a "lifer" yesterday ... first time I had ever seen a Brown Elfin Butterfly (http://www.thenaturephotographer.club/image_tree.php?tsn=188501) (positively ID'd by Ken Davenport of BAMONA (http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org)).
Unfortunately, this specimen was found during the harshest light possible, and it was quite windy.
Not proud of any of these images, per se, but I was delighted with the opportunity.
I did the best I could do dealing with the wind and trying not to get "that yellow cast" of mid-day photography.

I am going to go back to this location and see if I can find an un-damaged specimen this weekend.
These images were obtained with all-manual lenses, vintage lenses over 20 years old.
For complete Encounter Info (including a video of the terrain) click here (http://www.thenaturephotographer.club/image_encounter_view.php?encounter_id=88).
(Landscape photos taken with a 30-year old, mint Nikon 15mm f/3.5 Ai-S (http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/ultrawides/15mm.htm) I just had shipped to me from Japan :D)
Thanks for looking,
Jack
