Butterfly at the Creek - SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry

in photography •  8 years ago 


Canon Rebel T3 50mm, f/2.5, 1/800, ISO100

Bonus points for yellow :)

I don't have a macro lens, so I tried with my nifty 50 lens. I was literally about a foot and a half from this butterfly this morning (8/12/2016) at a little creek not far from my house. I enjoyed shooting for the challenge and trying something new.

This is absolutely stunning.

Thanks!

Beautiful. Was this a macro 50mm lens?

Thanks! No. Don't have a macro lens. Just a regular 50mm.

Good and low shot giving you a really great background for this image. This creek looks like the perfect place to encounter nature as you did - those wondering how to find things like this (outside of a butterfly pavilion or botanical garden should now have some ideas percolating. Just get out there and you never know what you'll come across. Very nice composition choice as well.

Thanks!

The level of detail is impressive. It almost looks like a fleur de lis coming out of its wing! Also, the water droplets add a lot of depth that is very pleasing to the eye.

Thanks so much for your feedback!

This is lovely. Perfectly framed and the wet surface looks great.

Thanks!

Lovely! I've seen many of the Monarchs locally lately. Must be migration time? Great capture.

I have no idea about the migration, but thanks for your compliments on the photo :)

Lovely shot

Thanks so much!

Such a sweet one ! 🌷

Thanks!
