ParticipantI have three butterfly pics tonight but two of them rather suck and I am thinking about only posting the one good shot .All I have is a point and shoot digital camera.so I gotta get real close to get shots like this

its gonna suck to post a smaller version .I think the pollen is gonna be a lot harder to see.November 13, 2008 at 3:02 am #19651U-Man
ParticipantI got mine drunk first.

Participantthank you the other two pictures I got of him before I bumped the flower he is on are kind of blurry so this will be the only entry this week. You can see the proboscis under his eye.I’m going to post a link to the big version because I lose a lot of quality when I shrink it.would this one be worth posting ?

It’s kinda blurry but it shows even more of the proboscis.November 13, 2008 at 3:31 am #19654Elsinore
KeymasterI’ve seen blurrier posted, and it’s a beautiful swallowtail, but I’m not sure it will get you much beyond the other one. The first you posted is so striking, and the focus and composition are great. Definitely add the link to the larger one on the first!

ParticipantWow .Thank you again. I will post the second one also but I agree about it not getting as much attention..

ParticipantI think all three of mine came from the butterfly exhibit at the Indianapolis Zoo, they have a great butterfly house there at the White River Gardens.

ParticipantYeah, butterfly exhibit at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. I had many other butterfly shots to choose from but those were the best by far because I was prepared to shoot butterflies on those days.

ParticipantI shot mine with a 100mm macro. Just followed them around and got lucky.

ParticipantI was going to do a whole Stick-Of-Butter-As-Icarus parable this week, but having yesterday off as a holiday screwed me up and I didn’t realize it was Wednesday until it was too late.
