Butterflies Photo Gallery by Marius Nistor at pbase.com

Butterflies

Lots of the images were taken in between a trout fishing session with my friend Mihai Olariu in the Sibiu County at Balea. There are also pix taken on my holiday in Halmagiu, Arad County at my wife place of birth.
The lens was Sigma 180mm f 3/5 EX APO Macro and when possible in late afternoon or early morning light using a tripod. I used also a wide aperture for the silky background. If you like one of this shots, feel free to download them as wallpaper. Please contact me by e-mail if you want a higher resolution picture or one without signature. I would appreciate any comments, suggestion or ID help.
Enjoy!!
AND PLEASE LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL SIZE!

your work is TOO GOOD to give out high res images without your signature. I think every one you might give out, you should be proud to have your name on it ;)
