Yesterday, Steve Barbour reminded us on the LUG of his practice of using 
a B&W viewfinder with red focus-assist, to improve his manual focusing.  
I tried it this morning.  While it looks a little weird in the finder, I 
did improve my hit rate.  Here are three examples.

White Cabbage Butterfly (I think this is the most commonly used name) on 
Buddleia.

Silver-Spotted Skipper.

And a Rose of Sharon bloom with a passing visitor.
