Buckeye or tropical buckeye? - Junonia evarete

Buckeye or tropical buckeye? - Junonia evarete
Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, Pima County, Arizona, USA
April 17, 2009
I give up. I'm wondering how many species of Junonia there really are, too. Imaged this one as it flitted around a blooming acacia along the creek in mid-morning. Shot with Canon SX10 IS on "auto" using the zoom, then cropping the resulting image. Still not nearly as sharp an image as I'd like.

Have you looked into "close up filters" for your Canon SX10 IS? Before I got my DSLR I used them on my Sony point-and-shoot camera and they did help (and are usually quite cheap).

Thank you.
Thanks, Dan. I don't believe those filters are an option for this camera (it is not a DSLR), but I will look into it. I had to use the zoom from like 3-8 feet away on this butterfly.

No problem. I searched and found this adapter for your camera, it will allow you to attach any 58mm filter (polarizing, close-up, UV, etc):

And lots of people discussing the adapter here:
