It has to be very rewarding to get a shot like this one. I love the pov and the vibrant colours and detail make for a very nice capture. I would love the opportunity to photograph one of these beauties but they're not very common in our region. Well done Yves.
Thank you Heather. You must have some beautyful butterfly I don't have around here. Try this at home, you'll love it.
Beautiful, Yves. Part of the problem is finding Monarchs to photograph in the first place. I grow milkweed in my yard for that purpose.
Thank you Jane. They are common here in the season. But of course I dream of shooting those beautyful ones I don't have around here. One day, may be, there will be a camera to photography a dream.
Very artistic capture Yves. Experimenting with perspective can be a challenge with anything that can move out of your frame quickly. Nicely captured.
Thank you so much Debra. Your comments are well appreciated. From the last 2 years experiencing I developped my hability at close range. Set at 400mm, 6 feet from the subject the DOF is so tiny that the 7.1 aperture was a minimum. I was in full sun but still I was ISO 400 to get the .0008sec speed.
