A bird and some butterflies

Marisa Heymach

Here are some shots I took while on a trip to the Butterfly exhibit in Houston. I used matrix 3d AF and zoomed in all the way. It was hard to keep the butterflies (and the bird) in the viewfinder --- I just kept on shooting and hoped for the best. Several came out blurry but here are a few which I thought were interesting, although not perfectly sharp. I'm sure practice will help. Any CC is welcome.

Love the first one (Blue Morpho ?). What surface is it on?

Also like the straight up BIF bluejays.

Thanks for the comments. I certainly respect the challenges nature photographers face, particularly when trying to capture subjects in flight!
The blue morpho was flittering near the surface of a pond with a waterfall.

So that's BFIF, not perched!

Great shot!
