Lime Swallowtail

[Stan]

Yesterday wasnt a day for shooting outside so we spent the day at the butterfly house near Swindon

Shot with my 100 f2.8 L IS macro and MR14 ringflash

Camera set to manual mode ,1/125, f8, ISO 800 which underexposes the background to dim distractions and the ring flash then exposes the butterfly

Re: Lime Swallowtail

thanks guys

was this handheld

always got to be handheld as there is little room to get a tripod in position for the angles required and if you did manage it the butterfly would be long gone
