very colourful and representative. What is the name of this butterfly in your country please ? I have also a buterfly collection. I hope a greek natural history to buy some of my photos....
LemnosExplorer.com, on June 14, 2007, said:
may I ask if it is taken with ring-closeup flash ?
Nicola Vachon, on June 14, 2007, said:
No. I had no ring-flash at that time. The lighting was good, but I still had to lighten the butterfly a bit in post-process. A ring-flash would have make it more natural maybe.
LemnosExplorer.com, on June 14, 2007, said:
very natural for me in this situation. Nice post-skills !. It seems the bfly is lit via diffused flash (soft shadow etc) but the contrast also and complementary colour appearance is very nice. I use nikkor 60mmf1.9 for such species, but never able to be so parallel to bfly (200 micro would not be bad idea)

Que camara usas? What kind of camera did you use fot this picture.? I loved it

Hi Nicola! Congratulations for this picture. I think shots of butterflies are not easy, they are always too scared of people and almost always too fast, but not this time on the beach. Best regards

The only camera I had at hand was a fuji finepix E550. I'm still amazed that I could take such a picture with a 500$ camera. Since that camera is very light-weight, I was able to crawl very close to the butterfly (I could almost touch it) and hold my camera before me while lying on the ground.
Thanks everyone!
