Today, I had a good day.

I have been trying for several days to take a decent photo of a butterfly, and I have not been able to produce anything I wanted to share with you. Well today was a good day, I don't know why, conditions were the same, but I am happy with these.









Thanks for looking. Now what am I going to do?

I have been trying for several days to take a decent photo of a butterfly

Same light, same location, same conditions, some days I guess it just isn't meant to be, but you are right Michele, today was a good day and these are good, good colours, good detail, good pictures, well done

Today was definitely a good day for you, these are fantastic. I love the way the dark background in the first one shows the striking patterns of the butterfly. All have great DoF.

you most certainly did...no 1 is especially beautiful!

These are all beautiful. I especially adore the 1st one! The way you captured the light coming through the wings is stunning.

Yes, its always good to capture butterflies and these are good shots, especially the first one.

Thanks for sharing these

These are lovely. I especially like #2. Did you use a macro lens?

[wildjob]

Yes you did have a good day if not a great day. I love the colors and contrast of the 1st one.

Beautiful pictures :-) I've just moved into my first house with a garden after years of living in flats, and am desperately researching ways of attracting butterflies so that I can maybe have a chance of capturing something like this next summer.

Do you have any tips for tempting these gorgeous creatures?
