Incredible images. I always think you can watch hundreds of photography videos on You Tube, but you always know when you encounter someone who's the real deal.

Really informative video Roger. Thank you for producing it. I have never tried pro capture on my olympus em5 mark iii but with 100- 400mm must now have a go.<br>Love your videos

Great tips thank you , one thing to do which is similar to when animals are stalked , is not to be down wind , so when it comes to butterflies etc be aware of in this case that the direction of the sun doesn't cast your shadow hope this makes sense

Excellent Roger, my tripod has been in the garage for as long as I can remember, I think I might just get it out this weekend. <br>As you alluded to you will only get a decent shot if you have a good compositional starting point so patience is key, get the scene right and the results will follow.

Knapweed is a troublesome invasive exotic here in the Columbia River Gorge in NW US, but I will have to take a break from pulling knapweed and try out your approach to photographing butterflies. Inspiring!
