  • Hi Luc! I love your Butterfly album. You really captured some great photos. I love the colors in No. 4; the pink flowers and the dark butterfly. Also, it is really hard to find the Atlas Moth and you took such a great photo of it. Thanks for sharing. I love visiting our Butterfly House and spending several hours chasing them around looking for different butterflies. It's lots of fun. Thanks for sharing. Sharon

  • Hi Luc! This is a wonderful album! You did a great job capturing these gorgeous beauties. It must be incredible inside a butterfly house and still very challenging. Thanks for sharing! Jane

  • Thanks, Luc, for the kind comments in my featured album today. It was a surprise! I still love to look at your butterfly album. And even though I've said it before, Butterfly 4 is still my favorite; I love the combination of colors of the flower with the butterfly. Bob and I almost got dehydrated the last time we went to the Butterfly House in St. Louis County. We stayed all afternoon, and even though we go out for water occasionally, it is very warm and humid inside the Butterfly House and I think we stayed too long. LOL :-)) I'm anxious to see more of your butterfly photos soon. Thanks for sharing. Sharon

Bonne journee. Zazoo

  • Hello Luc, I love this album of butterflies and moths. You are an expert in several ways that I truely appreciate having tried my hand at macrophotography myself. The problems of getting close enough to a butterfly or moth and having time to compose the shot without them flying away are hard to overcome. One of the greatest technical problems is focus and depth of field. To get the maximum depth of field you have all kinds of problems to overcome. You have conquered all of these and I salute you. I would like to know what lens and/or other equipment you are using to capture these beautiful insects. Thanks for sharing these great photographs with us. Bill Cable (heyburn3)

  • Hi Luc: These butterflies are gorgeous. Inever see such variety. You must have a spectacular garden to attract them all. Is there a picture of you in your albums. I have yet to stumble upon one, and am curious who I am talking to. You know how I asked aboutyou rearranging your albums, well I went in and rearranged mine, just because the concept got me to thinking about my own. merryeb

  • Bonjour, Luc! How have you been in snow-bound frost-hit Canada? My friend in Woodstock writes about -29 degrees C!!! I saw your message at Lynne's Summer Hues and thought about having a look again at your albums. There was nothing recent, so I chose the butterflies. I like the artistry of Papillon10/14/17/28/30 and 35. Where is the Papillon in No.36 ? I cannot see it, but the hibiscus is gorgeous!Hope to hear from you one of these days! All the very best from Gabriela

  • Encore une fois, Bonjour Luc! I have released my latest album, "From Bali With Love" and photo DSCN0516 (that is the 8th in the album) is dedicated to you.Your Webshots name is written underneath the photo. Hope you like it! I highly appreciate your visits and I feel you never write in the guestbook just for the sake of writing, which is exactly what everybody should do. Lynne in New Zealand is as much taken with your photography as I am.Have a sunny weekend, if possible! Regards from Gabriela

Et étonnants: le 48 qui ressemble à une feuille morte et le 49 avec les pointes d'aile courbées! Très mignon, le 47 zèbré! Merci, Luc, pour vos gentils commentaires dans notre Spring album!

  • Hi Luc. I saw so many familiar butterflies here and you captured them so well. Looked like they cooperated for you too. I even saw the same one that wouldn't open for my photos, didn't open for you either. (: Sorry, it just made me laugh that we had the same closed butterfly. Thanks so much for visiting my black and white album. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your kind comments. My best to you, Dynna.

  • Hi Luc! I'm so impressed with this butterfly album. It's been a long time since we've been to the Butterfly House here in St. Louis. We usually wait for a cold winter day and then we enjoy the indoor temps of plus 80 degrees in the Butterfly House. I wish you had lots more time for photo opportunities because I just love your style of photography and awesome photos. Thanks for visiting my Colorado album again. Bob and I are getting almost too old now to hike too much, so we did a lot of driving on this last trip and searching for the little ghost towns. It was fun! Hope you are getting the weekend off from work. All the best! Sharon

  • Hi Luc! Have you been to the Butterfly House lately? I just love this album. You found so many beautiful color combinations for your compositions. Thanks for visiting Maroon Bells again! I added #2-#21 from our visit out there this past fall! We didn't hike as far this time--it must have been old age! We're leaving soon for a vacation to Florida, so if you don't hear from us for a couple of weeks, we'll be without a computer; I'll catch up when I get home! Have a great month and we'll talk to you in March! Thanks again for your kind comments; they mean a lot coming from you! Sharon

Can Hardly Wait for a Spring Floral or Seasonal Album with Your New DRebel, Will be Great! I'm getting the 100mm Macro lens in a week and will attempt some close ups.. if I can get Half of the Success You have Here, I'll be Elated!

  • Hi Luc! It's me Sharon, not Bob! Thanks for the kind comments on the Elephants and the Orchids! I just sent Bob out this morning to MBG to see how the peonies were doing. They were beautiful the other day, but after the little rain we had this morning, they may be hanging their heads. Peonies are pretty, but they can't take much rain before they fall over. I have a broken toe from about two weeks ago and when we took the iris photos I walked around the gardens with a hole in my shoe so my little toe didn't hurt too much. But I really did overdo, so Bob was very happy to cover MBG for both of us today! :-)) I still love viewing this Butterfly album; they are so gorgeous and Bob and I know from experience that taking butterfly photos are one of the most difficult things to do. Just about the time you're ready to snap, the butterfly decides to move!! It takes lots of time and patience! Great job as always! Take care and enjoy your weekend. Sharon

Your butterflies are exquisite. Enjoy going through your albums. Hope you take a moment to stop by to see my new ones. Will be back to see more. Take care, Sharon/Arizona

  • Hi Luc! I just had to come back to this awesome butterfly album. It is so beautiful. I recently went to the Butterfly House over in St. Louis County. Bob had gone to our son's home in another city to help them get ready for a move to another house and I decided I was going to spread my wings and fly to the Butterfly House all by myself. I ended up taking photos of all the tattered and torn old butterflies for some reason, but managed to enjoy the day in spite of hundreds of school children taking field trips. :-))) It was one of those fun days when it didn't really matter whether I had any decent photos, but just had a good time watching the butterflies. :-)) Hope you're having a wonderful week and thanks for all your kind comments in my albums. I always appreciate hearing from our good friend, Luc!! Sharon

  • Hello Luc. I invite you to look at my new Flower album Part two, I think you will like it even better then my featured album Flower because it is 100% made of pictures taken with my new digital camera. My old cameras needed adjustments with the settings and it was too expensive to have them repaired so I prefered to make the jump into digital and I don't regret it a bit. This is a splendid and very well done album of butterflies that you made. My favourite pics are #30 and 60. Your photos are very crisp and colourful. Bonne journee et continue le bon travail, Yan/Ottawa

  • Hi Luc, your macros are fantastic and Montreal sure has the most beautiful botanical garden with a wonderful collection of butterflies! Isn't it great, that today we can collect butterflies without pinning them with some needles on a board!! Your collection is very impressive! My favorite is # 23 and the cover picture and 37 of course and I had a laugh about # 34 the lunchbox! :-) Thanks for your nice comments about my 'Royal Poinciana blooming with fire'. Those trees are common in countries with a much warmer clime, countries like Florida, California, India, Queensland, Australia, North Africa. Some community members told me so! Have a wonderful week!

  • Bonjour Luc!!! Je reviens voir ce superbe album des papillons car j’adore ces merveilleuses petites créatures. Très belles couleurs, magnifiques macros ! Merci beaucoup pour tes commentaires dans mes features. Je suis vachement contente d’avoir eu 2 features en quelques jours, et énormément surprise (je ne m’attendais même pas au premier !). Très bonne journée et à bientôt, Tatiana

  • Thank you for your comments in my Flowers on vintage china album. I didn't know if this type of album would be interesting for others to view. I have only photographed about half of my china collection so far. I was surprised to see how much china I have collected over the years. The French Limoges pieces are my favourites. I love This Butterfly Album of yours. The Butterflies are so colorful. I enjoyed every photo. I always like your comments that go along with your photography. I never get tired of viewing your albums on Quebec. Sandie/B.C. Canada

  • Hi Luc, thanks for visiting my Reflections album and for your kind words in the guest book. I really enjoyed discovering this album of butterflies since I love these colorful creatures. As you can see, I love taking pictures of insects but so far I did not have much luck with taking pictures of butterflies. I hope one day I'll manage to create a beautiful album like yours. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Yair.

  • Bonjour Luc: Ce n'est pas un hasard que nous re-écrivons dans cet album: les photos sont vraiment hors du commun - et précisément notre virée d'aujourd'hui à la campagne nous a rappelé que les papillons ne sont pas des clients commodes pour le photographe! - Merci pour tes mots amicaux -ton amitié tout court!- dans notre dernier petit album - un témoin des trois dernières semaines. -Bon dimanche, à bientôt! Kaethi et Henri

  • Bonjour Luc: quel plaisir toujours de te retrouver avec des photos extraordinaires! Cette fois-ci d'une chasse inoffensive - mais avec quel résultat! On est ébahi par cet immense variété de couleurs et formes, et heureux bien sûr de constater que ce ne sont point d'individus épinglés d'un musée. Mais il reste que le résultat de ta visite au MBG n'est pas venu tout seul: quelle patience dans la plupart des cas! Merci pour ce cadeau - et meilleurs voeux de notre Douce France! Kaethi et Heinz
