hi Joe
Really impressed by your photography. Rather grey here in England at the moment and I am longing for warm sunny days to get out photographing butterfly and dragonfly. I have taken a series of photographs of moving water recently, and wonder if I will be able to combine both. I came to your blog via Monarch’s blog, which has become a favourite. I have not very much technical knowledge so will enjoy reading your posts, and seeing some inspirational photography. Best regards, Chris
Wow, that is a pretty sweet list. I’d love to have the Canon 180 as well. I just picked up the EF-S 60 mm macro a few days ago and can’t wait for the insects to start flying. Have a great year……..
