Butterfly photos and questions about Flickr


Butterfly on flower, originally uploaded by Jennifer J.

Yesterday, I had a lot of fun taking pictures of the Butterflies at the Oregon Zoo. The macro lens came in very handy and I got some good shots. Although, there was a professional photographer there who took a couple of shots with my camera and his are way better than mine. I guess that is why I still have day job.

After looking through my pictures again, I think I got better as the day went on. I don't have all the photos up as I took over 200 and need time to weed out the really bad ones.

For the two people who actually read my blog, do you look at my photos on Flick? Do you want to see all the photos, excluding the really bad ones, or would you rather I put like my 10 best on-line? I tend to put everything on line, but worry that people get bored and don't look at everything. When is it appropriate to put all the pictures online vs. only the top ten? Thoughts anyone?

New Macro Lens

I am going to take pictures tomorrow of the Butterflies at the Oregon Zoo as part of a Zoo Educational Program. On the literature for the outing, it was suggested to bring a macro lens. I don't own a Macro Lens although I have been wanting one. So I went to Pro Photo Supply today to check out lens. They didn't have any to buy, but I was able to rent one.

This picture was taken with a Canon 100mm/2.8f Macro Lens. It's a lot of fun to play and have lots of potential.

Tomorrow should be a lot of fun. I will be in the exhibit for two hours before the zoo opens. There will be people there from Pro Photo Supply, plus the Zoo's Professional photographer is going to be there to give some helpful hints and tricks of the trade. I just hope I am not beyond my element as the class is for advance photographers. We will see.

Check back tomorrow for pictures and an update.
