Nature is fun, but frustrating
Found a "lifer" yesterday ... first time I had ever seen a
Brown Elfin Butterfly (positively ID'd by Ken Davenport of
BAMONA).
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.

mint Nikon 15mm f/3.5 Ai-S I just had shipped to me from Japan

Thanks for looking,
