It was a bit overexposed. That's why i didn't post it for a long time. But a bit of curves fixed that.

Ich habe eine Canon 20D digitale Spiegelreflex. FΓΌr die Nahaufnahmen benutze ich meist mein Macroobjektiv.
Danke fΓΌr die netten Worte

One of the most beautiful butterflies. I never saw the green one and until recently I didn't even know that such color is possible on them. Great detail and textures too.

Green is rare on butterflies. I can't think of any wild ones in my area that are green. But if you go to any israeli macro photographer's page you'll find plenty green ones with white. Three of my favourite butterfly house butterflies are green. The Malachite, the Tailed Jay and the Emerald Swallowtail.

What do you mean by *house butterflies*? As in some kind of exhibit or as in *I keep them in my house*? I only shoot the wild ones so my knowledge is limited to what's available in my area.

Looks like I have a homework to do now - find Israeli photographers of butterflies.

Oh, here - [link] - is the first green one I saw. It looks like a wild one to me.

The butterlfy house where most of my shots were taken is just a big hall with a glass roof/walls. There are lots of flowers and plants in there so it's not difficult to get natural looking pictures. It's warm an humid in there and there are lots of tropical and subtropical butterflies.

I also like taking pictures of wild ones, but i've not been very succesfull so far.

Here's an Israeli green and white one. Or two of them to be more precise: [link]

It was a bit too bright straight out of the camera. So it didn't look all that good. But plaing with the curves a bit luckily fixed that.

Wow, this is truly beautiful, even though it doesn't look much sharp. I must get myself a macro lense as soon as possible!

Thank you my friend.

The macro lens certainly is my most beloved and most used lens. Not just for macro shots.

The focus isn't exactly on the eyes if it's that what you mean with not much sharp. But on the wings you can actually count the scales at 100%.

deedee20382 In reply to hepiladron [2007-03-11 18:37:08 +0000 UTC]

Maybe it's just my screen which is crap... I think the focus has to be on the wings exactly as it is.

Thank you. I wouldn't have called this piece simlistic, but i guess there's really no simpler way to photograph a butterfly than the right angle to wing approach.
