Butterfly macro photography

in #photography8 years ago

I was lucky enough (it took extreme patience) to capture a butterfly that landed on a flower today using my Canon camera.

It would flap its wings every 45 seconds - 1 minute, thus it took previously mentioned patience to get more than one shot of it with it's wings open.

I still wonder if this particular butterfly is of a caterpillar I have seen through the lens of my camera, or of the cocoon I was recently lucky enough to see on a hanging tree limb. Unfortunately, i'll never know.

No matter the circumstance, today patience paid off.

very good photos, effort and your hard work in perpetuating the butterfly is worth the price

Beautiful image of this butterfly! I like the raw nature :)

Amazing shot thanks for sharing! i love your photo! Checkout my posts as well

If it was worth it ... Extraordinary pictures! Thanks =)

Nature gives us the best background and this butterfly the most beautiful model. Nice picture.

This is amazing. I find that there is no better rewards than getting the shot you have been waiting for. When it happens to me I usually stop breathing for a few seconds, scared that I have lost the moment, even though I just captured it.
Always so nice.
