Butterfly

I had actually had set up my camera for birds of prey (in flight), that's why the speed setting was this high and that's also why the camera had to crank up the ISO this high. For a sitting butterfly, this is obviously way off the optimum.

Nice shot there Chrissie, and the A9 + 100-400 is a superb combo for wildlife/insects.  I did consider the 2 x TC but ended up going with the 1.4 and I am very happy with that as I see no loss of AF performance or sharpness.

The A9 is amazing for these types of images and I must congratulate you on some great images that make you smile and appreciate nature.

Keep up the good work.
