pics from my garden with the 5DII



the easiest flying to photography, 100% crop to check if makro-planar can also do infinity


next ones are also almost 100% crop




Hummingbird Hawk-moth or Hummingmoth, even at 1/6000 wings are not frozen

[56 DIN]

a lot of traffic in your garden

the colour is amazing, having a bright screen it bites you, no way to step/look aside
my faves are the first and the last one, cause i think here the colour composition is best

Great series and action shooting! 2, 6 and 9 are my faves

thanks for nice comments!
I was surprised to find the lizard inside the flowers
he was more curious than me and let me approach
usually they don't let me less than 1 meter
Hummingmoth are beautiful but difficult to photograph
they move fast and stay on a flower for less than 2 sec
here is the full frame of #9, I was not able to get closer
it is at 1/1600s, the 2 others at 1/6500s, speed needed to freeze them
the focus snap on the makro-plannar and it easy to precise focus
I have to try with AF to see if it is easier to get them

Look at those colours I actually like the full frame version more I think
