That's what I used to call them as a kid.

Anyway, here are some shots from the local butterfly conservatory (link) -- some good ones maybe, but I'll let you judge.

Please be honest -- it's the only way I'll learn.

Thanks in advance for looking.

    Love the second one, I think the purists here would say "watch your wing clipping " :) Good job

    Yeah, I was annoyed by the clipped wing myself, but of the three shots I took of this little guy this one was the only one that was in focus for the head! rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for looking.

    I like them all. I would like to see more light on the butterflies though, to really bring out the delicacy of their wings and the colors. These are still better than any I could do :D Thanks for sharing them.

    You got some good ones especially #4. Butterflies are very tough to shoot.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nothing wrong that a little practice can't cure; a little more room with help. Good shooting. clap.gifclap.gif
