Butterflies time, v2 !
January 23rd, 2010
I went back to the Golden head park to visit my buddies the butterflies but they weren’t in good shape, the glasshouse was almost empty, only something like 20 butterflies were still there. Indeed, the exposition is supposed to end the 30th of January, so they’re not planning to release butterflies anymore, they’re just waiting for the one already released to die. Those still there were of course still amazing, here is 3 photographs. The first one is taken with a wide lens (instead of a usual Macro lens), it gives a different perspective on this huge butterfly, the Yellow-Edged Giant-Owl Caligo.
Hello, Manu. Walt says:
I find it amazing that the macro lens used for #1 has such close focus capability.
However, the extremely narrow depth of field in #3 catches my eye…suits the narrowness of the butterfly. At first I thought there was a little too much forground included, but then, wait…is that glow on the leaf a reflection of light from the wing?
On 2nd thought, great composition!
