Subject: [Leica] IMG: Another Gulf Fritillary, Another Lens

I spotted a Gulf Fritillary, with a slightly tattered right wing, on the 
bush this morning, and decided to try a different approach.  I mounted my 
Leica Telyt 250/4 with 2X extender on the E-510, and placed it on the 
monopod.  The b/fly seemed to take pleasure in keeping foliage in my sight 
path, but I got a few clear shots.  A gusty breeze increased the challenge 
of a sharp image.
