Black Swallowtails–Capturing a Fastly Fluttering Butterfly

black-swallotail-900-004

The first one I took knowing more about setting. Yes, the 2nd one is better as far as catching the image, but, the first one was moving at Mighty Mouse speed. He was flapping his wings like crazy. I was waiting on a delivery, so I couldn’t try to capture him outside so it’s from a much greater distance, and looking through double paned windows. Aperture set at 1200.

Okay, back to the book. 10,000 words to go! 🙂

Have a super day!
