out and about a bit a couple of weekends ago and spent some time chasing butterflies. Unfortunately I'd left the extension tubes in the car so was just shooting with the Fuji 70-300, but then even if the lens had focused closer, I wasn't able to get much closer to the butterflies without them fluttering off. Butterfly305 Butterfly301 Butterfly300 And if you are working in a butterfly environment, this may be NSFW! 🫣 I got a little bit closer to these as they were a bit distracted Butterfly302 Butterfly303 All shot Fuji X-E3 and 70-300. The 70-300 has a pretty good minimum focus distance on it's own, but also works well with extension tubes - I have the 16mm one - for even closer focus, not quite macro range but useful for a bit of bug hunting.

Finally got a day out with the camera today. Having a bite to eat at the Olinda Falls picnic area and a couple of Kookaburras started to keep an eye on us. As we open some salami, one flew down and sat in the middle of the table. Had to back up a bit to get some pictures: Kookaburra up close Kookaburra 2 Kookabura in flight Also had an Australian Magpie get fairly close too. Magpie Both Kookaburras and Australian Magpies are quite distinctive in their sound as well as look. Later took a walk around the National Rhododendron Gardem - spring is here!
