Part of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge.
Here you go:
I took this shot last week, but am sharing it now in the hopes that it will brighten your Monday!
I took this at the St. Louis Zoo, which is very nice and also free. This butterfly was kind enough to hold still for a bit and I was also using my tripod. I have noticed that when I have both my camera and tripod a lot of people stop and talk to me. If you are a tripod user, have you noticed that as well?
The butterfly is centered in the frame because it was a digital photography assignment that required the subject to be in the center. I did also bump up my ISO to 400, because I thought it captured the color detail a bit better than the shot I took at ISO 100. I also had my f-stop about mid-range. I wanted to make sure to get enough detail, but I wanted my background to be a bit out of focus so that it was not a distraction.
Thoughts on this photo? would you have shot it differently? leave your comments below…
Cheers!
The tides at the Bay of Fundy say “near and far” to me so for this week’s photo challenge here is a shot:
If the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia isn’t on your bucket list, it would be a place worth adding. Take your camera, because with tides like this there are new landscape photos to be taken hourly.
Cheers!
