A little bit of beauty for your Monday
Here you go:
ISO 400 50mm 0ev f/10 1/10
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!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Near and Far
The tides at the Bay of Fundy say “near and far” to me so for this week’s photo challenge here is a shot:
ISO 100 f/8 1/800 28mm
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!
