Title: butterfly
Post by: Norty on July 31, 2009, 06:39:22 PM
I saw him while I was birding at my grandparent's house.
My little sister, Chloe, (9 years old) is a butterfly freak. :) She knows a lot about them.

Got any tips for me? If you do, thanks!

It's pretty-

It's hard to get them when they move so fast. You just do the best you can and be challenged to get one good at of maybe several shots? that's what I do...

Well Done.  AS juinital has said take a lot of pictures and choose the best.  Also it looks like you have focused on the flowers?  I could be wrong about that though. 

Lovely picture.  Ask your sister what kind of butterfly this is!

OK, I will ask her.
I took this picture sometime last summer, and at that time I didn't know ANYTHING about cameras; I didn't know how to focus- nothing. And I still don't know very much. But thank you very much! :)

I'm not sure if I'm right but I think it's a tiger swallowtail.  : <3

Chloe gets it right.   It's a Tiger Swallowtail.  Nice shot; I would boost the contrast just a bit to make it more appealing.

Thank you. I really like butterflies. There so cool! Every day I like to read about them and look at pictures on the computer.
My favorite kind is a monarch.  :rose:
