Girl with Butterfly

jeffashman · Jun 11, 2022

I don't often do people photography, but this opportunity came up and I couldn't let it pass. One of my granddaughters decided to go out with me to LLELA, and this butterfly decided it wanted to be her friend. I loaned her my old Canon 2000D with the 75-300mm lens, so it will be interesting to see what she came up with. It got to 100F/37.8C, so we were pretty exhausted after 3 hours walking around in the heat. The focus is intentionally on the butterfly. Canon 90D w/ Tamron 18-400mm f/6.3 1/1250 ISO 320 89mm.

Nicely done, Jeff! It’s especially nice when you get a good one of a grandchild. We just returned from Texas (our grandkids) on Thursday, and it was getting rather toasty. But we returned to 110 in Tucson. One just plans accordingly. I hope she enjoys the camera.

Thank you! She took the camera back to her room, along with the transfer cable, so we'll see what she got. I set the camera to P with back panel focus, since this is her first time with a DSLR.
