Balancing Butterfly Act

Thank you so much Zina. When you have a beautiful subject as with this tiny butterfly and flowers (a dare to be noticed moment), the work of the photographer sometimes works. This was one of my toughest moments. I generally do not photograph butterflies with a macro lens. I generally use a long lens, otherwise they flutter away. However, it would not focus on such a tiny subject (manually or automatically), nor with my regular lens either. Fortunately for me, these butterflies are considered "poor flyers" and it did not try to fly away when I got in close (although might have wanted to to).

Thank you Rick Hansen for sharing your thoughts about my butterfly photography. It was a difficult task to capture such a small butterfly on those tiny flowers. I am glad you like it and have chosen it as one of your favorites.

Dorothy! I am delighted that you think so. Thank you for that and the fave.

Sharon! Thank you for visiting my gallery and sharing your wonderful comment about my photography. I really appreciate it! It is a butterfly that is in central Texas and Arizona. They are a very small butterfly and it was quite difficult to photograph. I am amazed I was able to get some images of it.

Thank you Jasna. I appreciate your visit and choosing this as one of your favorites too.

Yvonne! Thank you for visiting my gallery and sharing your delightful comment about my photography. I really appreciate it! A very difficult shot, as my camera was not cooperating, needing to try 3 different lenses. I mean who has time to mess around when trying to capture a butterfly.

Meryl! It really is delicate. Thank you for stopping by my gallery to share your wonderful comment about my photography. I really appreciate it and the fave! Janet💕

Ruth! Thank you for visiting my gallery and sharing your wonderful comment about my artwork. I really appreciate it! Janet💕

Thank you dear, Chance, it wasn’t easy. Trying 3 different lenses, all kinds of settings, manual focus, auto focus. Somehow I managed to get some good shots. Such a little butterfly, on my knees on rocky soil. Fortunately these little guys are slow flyers, because with all my challenges, I had good cooperation. So I appreciate the well done. That means a lot. Janet💕

Stephen! Thank you for all your visits and beautiful thoughts shared. I guess it’s a good time to post spring induced photography. I am glad you like this and feel it’s a great capture. I appreciate knowing that and also for choosing this as one of your favorites. Janet 💕

Ruth, thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts about this. I really appreciate it. Janet 💕

Thank you dear Kate. A shallow depth of field shot always creates a wonderfully natural abstract background. Thank you for noticing. I’m glad you like this and have chosen it is one of your favorites too. Janet💕

Barbara! How wonderful to have you take the time to stop by my gallery to share your lovely thoughts about this. I’m glad that you feel it’s beautiful. I really appreciate it. Janet 💕
