Butterflies with the EF 70-200 2.8 IS II

[Romy Ocon]

While waiting for the migratory birds to arrive next month, I try to keep my reflexes in shape by shooting these things of beauty as they flutter around my mother's garden.

My go-to lens for catching these delicate creatures is the EF 70-200 2.8 IS II - its close focusing ability, framing flexibility and fast AF make this zoom well suited for the job.
