Butterflies – Up Close

Sony A1 & Sony 90mm macro lens

Return to the Gardens at Spring Creek⏤ armed with a wonderful new lens!

A few weeks ago, I purchased a Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens for another project. It’s an amazing lens! I waited for a sunny morning and then headed back to the Butterfly House at the Gardens at Spring Creek in Ft. Collins.

The specs say the minimium focus distance on th lens is 11.02″, but I could swear I was closer for some of the shots! I had plenty of light, so I was able to hand hold the camera. The lens has a “Steady Shot” option (vibration reduction), which came in handy. I carried a Lume Cube light panel but didn’t need it.

This lens opens up a new array of photography for me here in my new home in Loveland. The wildflower season is coming, too!
