[ET Awful]

All taken at the Museum of Science in Cambridge, MA. in their Butterfly room this afternoon :) :) :)

All shot with the new 70-200 lens (not the best for the situation, but I likes it :))

1. Outstanding!

I'm coveting your lens now for sure...I see nothing wrong here!

2. The only problem was that I had to be so far away to focus

I think it's over a 3 foot minimum focusing distance on this lens.

A good macro lens would have been easier to deal with (and probably would have avoided the whiney lady who complained that I was "obnoxious with that camera" (I had said excuse me to her husband to take a picture of something by him and she told the museum employees that I was rude :P. The employees told me "ignore her, keep taking pictures" :)

3. Wouldn't being closer...

block her view even moreso than what you did?

She must be a Reagan Puke, thinks she's entitled by rite of birth. :P

4. Nah, her problem was that I inserted myself between her and her husband (who was 10 feet away from

her) and took a picture across the aisle).

As far as Reagan Puke goes, I thought the same thing :P
