Hello everyone! This is my first time submitting a photo. It was a nice day and I was able to capture this butterfly/moth. (the internet says it's technically a butterfly, but I think it may be a moth) Let me know what you think!

    Yeah, it was with my 70-200mm canon f4 L, but they don't stay put for long! I was able to focus and then it was off again!

    I have a new respect for nature photogs!:D

    Welcome and thanks for posting. It's very easy to get an appreciation for nature photographers as soon as you try it yourself. And when I mean yourself, I mean myself! Laughing.gif!

    It's really hard to do well. I'm a total newbie at it too. I am in complete awe of the folks here who do it so well. Your first shot is a nice one though. I'm calling that a moth too, but I don't know what it is.

    Welcome. The colors are nice. I'm not sure what that is either but it does look more like a colorful moth to me.
