Excellent capture of a unusual butterfly,Stephen A. Liverman August 24, 2011
Thanks everyone for the kind remarks. Claudine this image was shot without flash, handheld using an ISO of 800. The Brookside Butterfly "Wings of Fancy" exhibit is in a greenhouse that gives a nice slightly diffused light on most days. I used F11 and a shutter speed of 1/200. You must shoot a number of images though because the field of focus is narrow this close and the butterfly moves readily in and out of complete focus. Hope this helps #9625651Usman M.
