This is a thread for discussing what cameras work well for us in getting great shots of butterflies, birds & bees. We all have varying budgets & I'm sure we all want to get the most bang for our buck.
Why is this thread in the BBB forum instead of the Photography forum? Because shooting photos of BBB's present certain challenges different from getting shots of plants or blooms. BBB's are often moving quickly as opposed to a plant or bloom that is stationary. Where we can for the most part control the conditions of photographing plants & blooms; we are at the mercy of the subject and rarely ever in control of the conditions of photographing butterflies, birds and bees. Sometimes we need macro shots because the subject is so tiny and other times we are trying to get shots from a great distance and all of this while the subject is usually moving or subject to move (or leave) at any given moment. We often only get a second to get that great shot.

Please feel free to join the discussion and offer your thoughts, advice, knowledge or ask questions.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
