Olhar e ver Photoblog
butterfly
Posted by António Pires (Lisbon, Portugal) on 15 June 2009 in Animal & Insect.
Last Wednesday, I tried for the first time to photograph butterflies. I only got one photo and I now fully admire the people that photograph those little creatures.
Olhar e ver means to look and see.

I know what you are saying here but this is a very creditable result. And, if you think these are difficult, try dragonflies!

@marianne: De toute façon il faut commencer par des escargots. Ils sont plus lents!

Beautiful design on the wings of this butterfly. When they are busy at collecting nectar butterflies are difficult to take in picture as they are moving a lot.

A pose da borboleta não é a mais gira, mas ficou extraordinária com uma nitidez fantástica. Excelente trabalho António.

Plutôt bien pour un essai. Il y une bonne netteté, ça ne doit pas être évident, ça bouge ces petites betes quand on s'en approche... J'en ai déjà photographié, il y longtemps mais dans une serre... jamais dans la nature. Un de ces jours j'essaierai aussi. :-)

Macroland is a harsh country, fascinating one - didn't really try yet (I don't have the required lenses) : nice butterfly in her beautiful dress !
